We have two different keyboard configurations here, "q" and "f". In the
first one, letters are all located as a "qwerty" layout with a few
additions like ç ö ü and some others that you can't see if I type, and
almost all the special characters are located differently, and the other
one is the true national keyboard layout and strictly preferred by
10-finger typers. Since I'm not a 10-finger typer and I started using
computers with standard US layout keyboards my personal choice is "q"
layout, and I feel myself completely dumb when I face with an "f" layout
keyboard..:-) It looks so stupid when you can't type anything right and
typing so slow if you are supposed to be servicing this computer..:-)
