    German

    This keyboard follows the standard 105-key "QWERTZ" layout used in Germany.

    Greek

    The usual Greek layout follows the U.S. layout for letters related to Latin letters
    (ABDEHIKLMNOPRSTXYZ), substitutes phonetically similar letters (Φ at F; Γ at G) and uses
    the remaining slots for the remaining Greek letters: Ξ at J; Ψ at C; Ω at V; Θ at U).

      2
    Italian

    This keyboard follows the standard 105-key layout used in Italy.

    Note: braces (right above square brackets and shown in purple) are given with both AltGr and
    Shift pressed.

    Russian

    This keyboard uses a standard Russian arrangement. English symbols are marked by gray
    lettering on the left side of keys, Russian symbols are marked by gray lettering in an outline font
    on the right side of keys.

    Russian

    Spanish (Spain)
    This keyboard follows the standard 105-key layout used in Spain.

    Note: The Spanish (Spain) keyboard layout also includes characters required for typing the
    Catalan language: Ç, the grave accent and interpunct (punt volat, used in l·l) at Shift-3.

    USA

    The U.S. standard keyboard is used not only in the United States, but also in other English-
    speaking countries (e.g., Canada, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand), except for the
    United Kingdom and Ireland, which use a British standard instead.

      4
    United States - International

    The United States - International keyboard layout uses the same layout as the USA keyboard.
    Accented characters can be typed by pressing the appropriate accent key, then the letter on the
    keyboard in its unaccented form. Accent keys share the same key as ', `, ", ^ and ~.

    An accent key is activated by pressing it (without holding it), and next pressing the letter that
    requires an accent. After the two strokes, the single accented character would appear on the
    screen.

    A complete list of accented letters and other characters for the U.S. International keyboard can
