About this Keyboard Layout
The German keyboard layout (QWERTZ) is the standard keyboard layout used in German-speaking countries. It differs from the international QWERTY layout mainly in the position of the Y and Z keys, and the addition of Umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and the sharp s (ß). This layout is optimized for typing German text efficiently.
