What is the pattern of keys on a keyboard?
There are three patterns I know about, Azerty, Qwerty, and Dvorak, are close together (well, atleast Azerty and Qwerty) Azerty and Qwerty are practically the same. The only difference is that on a Azerty keyboard Azerty are the letters available to type on the top row on the left side, where as for Qwerty , Qwerty is the available to type in on the top right section. In Qwerty A and Z are right next to the caps lock and the (left) shift key. In Azerty Q is next to the bottom left shift key and W is next to the ,/< key. In Dvorak the five vowels are on the left side of the keyboard on the middle row and the five most commonly used consonants are on the left side. The ,/< , ./> and / or ? is on the upper left corner.
Were there different keys on the typewriter then on the keyboard?
The computer keyboard is the same as the typewriter keyboard. The typewriter did have special keys that were not on the keyboard, like the tab keys that indented. The keyboard also has extra function keys that were not on the typewriter.
What is the difference between a qwerty keyboard and an ABC keyboard?
A QWERTY-type keyboard has the layout of semi-randomly placed keys on a keyboard. The layout was created to slow down fast typists using an ABC-type keyboard, as older typewriters could not handle fast typing speeds without jamming errors. The layout does not show a pattern of the alphabet. This is the most popular type of keyboard, and is widely accepted for all uses. A ABC-type keyboard has the layout of neatly placed keys on a keyboard, in alphabetical order. This layout is not popular at all, and is not widely accepted, for modern reasons. Going from the QWERTY format to an ABC-type format would take much adjustment.

What is a qwert keyboard?
QWERTY (qwhir-tee) is the most common modern-day keyboard layout on English-language computer and typewriter keyboards. It takes its name from the first six characters seen in the far left of the keyboard's top first row of letters. The QWERTY design was patented by Christopher Sholes in 1874. The patent was sold to Remington Arms, (later Remington Rand) and used for their typewriters. QWERTY is the standard keyboard denoted by the letters on the top line of characters. It was originally developed to separate and distribute the key movements on manual typewriters to reduce jamming of the keys. Because touch typists have learned this arrangement, it was retained for computer keyboards. Note: There are other different types of keyboards, such as the AZERTY (used in french speaking languages, except in Canada that uses the QWERTY), and QWERTZ (used in Germany and Eastern and Central Europe); as well as those used for stenographs.
How Did Christopher Latham Sholes Design The Keyboard?
i heard that the QWERTY design was because on type writers people got so used to the keys in the Alpha position that the type writer would become jammed at points when people would press 2 keys at the same time.. so he put the keys in a random order

Why keyboard letters are randomnly placed?
The QWERTY keyboard is not random. It was designed by Christopher Sholes in in the early 1870's. He was trying to design a type writer that didn't jam up with rapid succession of the type bars moving (a fast typist). After trial and error for several years, Sholes eventually developed the QWERTY keyboard that had the lowest rate of jamming of all designs he tried. For more information, search Wikipedia for QWERTY. Thank you.

Where would we find an F on a keyboard?
On a QWERTY keyboard, there are three rows of alphabet letters. Top row begins with a Q, middle row is A, and the bottom row is Z. On the middle row A, four keys in from left to right is A, S, D, and 'F'.But could the F in the question be about the function keys? f1, f2, f3, and so on? Without more information, I have to assume that it is the alphabetical key for 'F'.
