I've always wanted a keyboard that has the letters arranged in order. It makes no sense for me, and likely 95% of other computer users, to have querty or other unnatural key arrangements. I realize that they are based on character frequency in English, which serve only stenographers who: type with all 10 fingers, instead of picking with 2-3 fingers, like most people do; and write in only one language Your suggestion of having extra keys for diactical and punctuation marks and symbols is definitely a good one. It would be difficult to standardize all of this to accommodate all languages, but to standardize it for all languages that use the Roman alphabet and Arabic numerals, like most European languages do, should not be that difficult. I wish manufacturers would put some thought into this. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
