Hello Patrick,
There is no MAJOR difference between the standard US computer keyboard
and the standard US typewriter keyboard. The non standard is Dvorak.
The numerics are just where they have always been from my 1930s vintahe
Underwood onward, across the top. The symbols are simply upper case
numerics, you use the shift key for them.
The "roof symbol" you refer to is the carat not being a part of written
English is a control character used for writing command strings. Another
control character found there is the tilde, abobe the accent mark on the
far left key in the numerics row. This too is not part of written English.
FYI, as you may expect, computer control and math keys are on the far
right of the keyboard. and the function keys are the row above the
numerics. Some keyboards like this one have a spot below the control keys
and between the typewriter keys and math keys that can be used for any
number of things or nothing. My older keyboard has a track ball there and
this one has direction keys, cursor up, down, left, right.
Now, just WHAT were we saying about STANDARD???
