An introduction to keyboard design
theory: What goes where? Martin Hosken, 2003-02-17; 63681
reads
Designing a keyboard is relatively easy: you just allocate codepoints to keystrokes. The difficulty comes
when trying to decide what codepoints to assign to what keystrokes. Do you design based around the characters
on the keytops of a user's keyboard or the relative position of the keys? What do you do if you want to be
able to type more characters than there are keys in your keyboard?
