Overview

QWERTZ keyboard layout

Standard QWERTZ layout used for:

• German (de, de-DE, de-AT, de-CH)

• Austria (at)

• Switzerland (ch)

Key differences from QWERTY:

• z and y are swapped (z/y → y/z)

• Has umlaut keys: ä, ö, ü

• Has ß key (Eszett)

Key positions use [row, col] coordinates where:

• row 0: number row (^°1“2…)

• row 1: top row (qwertz…)

• row 2: home row (asdfg…)

• row 3: bottom row (yxcvb…) - note: y is here, not in top row
