The modern keyboard layout is also known as the Sholes keyboard after its developer, Christopher L. Sholes, who was one of the co-inventors of the typewriter. A popular legend claims that Sholes chose the layout because early mechanical typewriters tended to jam easily and the un-ergonomic QWERTY arrangement forced typists to type more slowly. However research by historians at the US Smithsonian Museum determined that most early typewriter users were telegraph operators who used the machines to transcribe Morse Code. Morse, like modern texting, had its own shorthand symbols so Sholes arranged his keys to make it easier for an operator to convert between those combinations and ordinary words.
