It is because the qwerty keyboard is used universally. Most people are used to the qwerty keyboard layout but there are some keyboard layout that you can also consider the devorak and colemak

End is a navigation key. Pressing the "End" key places the insertion point at the end of a line when you are in some text selection or editing mode. Other applications have their own actions when the End key is pressed. Pressing Ctrl, Shift, Alt and the End keys simultaneously may do some other things depending on the application that is active. For example, if you are using Excel and you are in the middle of a column of numbers and press the End key and then press the down arrow key, it will bring you down to the last number in that group of numbers in the column.

With a word processor, you can easily correct the typos, design page layout, save for future printing, and so on.

A word processor is digital, usually has no moving parts (aside from the output device and the keyboard) and sometimes considered a computer, and a type writer is analog, and is considered mechanical, and has moving parts.

Press CTRL+Y to repeat your last action

It's the middle row of letters, beginning with CAPs Lock and A S D F. Most keyboards also have two little notches that indicate where your pointer fingers should rest in standard position.

In text you need to change the font to superscript.

In spreadsheets you use the ^ symbol. So 46 would be entered as "=4^6".

It will take you to the end of your sentence when typing for easier navigation.

The escape button is used to get out of some programs and to get out of games quickly and effectively. Sometimes if you press the escape button in a game, it will direct you to the main menu, and not out of the game. The escape button is labelled with a "Esc" and is located at the top left-hand corner of your computer keyboard. Hope I helped! ^^

There are several keyboard layouts for different languages and different markets. The most common is called QWERTY and the Swedish keyboard I am working on at the moment has the following layout from the top row if I press the CapsLock key: §1234567890+´ QWERTYUIOPŨ ASDFGHJKLÖÄ' Other layouts exist. for example if I change regional setting to US English Layout I get: `1234567890-= QWERTYUIOP[] ASDFGHJKL;'\ \ZXCVBNM,./ If you wonder why some of the most common letters used in many European languages are on the far edges of the keyboard it could be because in the early days of mechanical typewriters, the mechanics would get fouled up if strong, quick fingers hit the keys too rapidly so A, S ,E are used by the ring and litttle finger of the left hand - the worst layout possible for French and English writers!

In a manner of speaking.

After computers were analyzed and invented in increasing convenience and accessibility, keyboards were invented to allow people to type with much more ease and speed.

There are so many different types of computer keyboards. There's multimedia computer keyboard, membrane computer keyboard, slim computer keyboard, ergonomic keyboards, gaming keyboards, numeric keyboards, laptop keyboards and more.

The QWERTY keyboard layout has its origins in the old mechanical typewriters. The early typewriter manufacturers experimented with many different layouts, indeed some of the first typewriters just had a single row of keys with A to Z all in order. As typists became more proficient and typing speeds increased, jamming of the mechanisms became a large problem. The QWERTY layout was developed to scatter the most-used keys widely across the keyboard thereby reducing the number of jams and allowing typists to type even faster.

Later on, when technology reduced this need, the QWERTY layout survived solely by the sheer number of typists already trained in its use. Other keyboard layouts such as DVORAK have been developed in an effort to find something which is more efficient with modern hardware, but QWERTY is still vastly more common and does not show any signs of going away any time soon.

to place your hands properly on the keyboard, you have to put your left fingers on the ASDF keys, while putting your right fingers on the JKL: keys.
