The AZERTY layout is used in
France,
Belgium and some African countries. It differs from the QWERTY layout thus:
A and Q are swapped,
Z and W are swapped,
M is moved to the right of L (where colon/semicolon is on a US keyboard),
The digits 0 to 9 are on the same keys, but to be typed the shift key must be pressed. The unshifted positions are used for accented characters,
Caps lock is replaced by
Shift lock, thus affects non-letter keys as well. But there is an evolution going towards a
Caps lock key instead of a
Shift lock.
The QZERTY layout is used mostly, if not exclusively, in Italy, where it is very common on
typewriters. Computer keyboards are usually QWERTY, although non-
alphanumeric characters vary.
Z and W are swapped
M is moved from the right of N to the right of L, as in AZERTY
Apple supported QZERTY layout in its early Italian keyboards, and currently
iPod Touch also has it available.
