- ajuc 3y agoOr qwertz for that matter. The Polish-machinist keyboard layout even stopped being enabled by default in Windows after causing countless "I can't log in" problems for like 20 years :)

- BlueTemplar 3y agoAZERTY, just like QWERTY, and QWERTZ should probably be all discarded anyway, since they date back to the now nearly 150 years old era, designed so that typists don't type too fast, which caused jamming to these early machines. In favour maybe of the likes of Dvorak (hey, wasn't he Czech ?) or BÉPO (any central/eastern-European equivalents ?). (The same researchers seem to have made a "new BÉPO" version, which, I guess, might be a "next step", when/if the new AZERTY becomes common ??) But that's not the point of the new AZERTY, its point is to provide a keyboard layout that finally allows proper typing in (Latin- and Greek-based) languages other than English. (The old AZERTY still didn't allow that, for instance no capital letters with diacritics, unless if maybe you use more advanced software ?) (Also, a much easier access to the {([])} symbols than the old AZERTY, which programmers are sure to appreciate !) All the while still keeping a familiar layout - and you'll have to concede that it should be more familiar to QWERTY / QWERTZ users than Dvorak / BÉPO, won't you ?
