RE: [ql-users] keyboards
Hi Wolfgang, I always thought you were German - oops ! (Must be the name !) Ok, if you are so clever then, get over here and use a QWERTY - that'll sort you out :o) Cheers, Norman. PS. A friend of mine worked in Paris for years as an Au pair and secretary. When she came back and started working for an Oil company in Aberdeen, she couldn't type any more - they bought her an AZERTY and she went back to 'normal' typing speeds. I think she has got used to QWERTY now though ! - Norman Dunbar Database/Unix administrator Lynx Financial Systems Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0113 289 6265 Fax: 0113 289 3146 URL: http://www.Lynx-FS.com - -Original Message- From: Wolfgang Lenerz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 1:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ql-users] keyboards On 21 Nov 2002, at 9:30, Norman Dunbar wrote: > > PS.

> I always thought you were German - oops ! (Must be the name !) That's because he IS German, though he lives near Paris. Mind you, I would not say all letters are in the same place on German keyboards, I am quite sure they have QWERTZ keyboards. Joachim
RE: [ql-users] keyboards
I think you are correct Joachim, if my memory serves me well, which it normally does not, the '/' is on an ALT GR shift as well - probably the 7 key I think. This makes doing anything in unix a pain as you need three fingers to get at a single '/'. I remember Paris, I went there once. It was cold and the streets were paved with something not unlike dog poo ! But we won't go down that route :o) Cheers, Norman. - Norman Dunbar Database/Unix administrator Lynx Financial Systems Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0113 289 6265 Fax: 0113 289 3146 URL: http://www.Lynx-FS.com - -Original Message- From: Joachim Van der Auwera [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 2:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ql-users] keyboards > I always thought you were German - oops !

Still, 24 out of 26 is not that bad ;) > I think you are correct Joachim, if my memory serves me well, which it > normally does not, the '/' is on an ALT GR shift as well Only Shift + 7. "\" is on AltGR + "ß". There is no key that uses "AltGR Shift". Marcel

Had to reinforce the outer tyre with sellotape, but still got to the station in time! Similar to the time I repaired Stuart H's outer with bits of his rucksack when his bicycle tyre exploded like a gunshot en route from Reggio Emilia to Parma after an Italian show. It was a quiet village, and all the dogs started barking and people came out of their houses.

I use a Nokia Data PS2 keyboard on this PC for email ... it has a QWERTY key layout, but the language is Spainish ( ? ) ... can anyone confirm ? The TAB key is 'Bloq Mayus', SCROLL lock is 'Bloq Despl'. It was only 1ukp at a Radio Rally some years back, it is an excellent 'sculptured' layout and feel to it. The actual 'legends' printed do not matter ... -- Malcolm Cadman
