Editing Region-specific layouts (section)

==ISO QWERTY==

===BR (Brazil)===

The ABNT2 keyboard has two variants: one with ISO key count, and
with one additional key. The extra key is left of the right Shift, which is shortened
to make room.

In keyboards without this extra key, / and ? are reached through AltGr-Q and
AltGr-W. A number of other characters used in Portuguese language is made
available via AltGr combinations, as well. Position of ç and dead accent keys
are very similar to the Portuguese layout.

The special characters in numeric row follow the ANSI sequence, the exception
being 6, a (dead key) umlaut replacing the circumflex. This is a major difference
from the Portuguese layout.

Many fullsize Brazilian keyboards also bisect the plus-key on the numeric-pad, replacing its bottom-half with a “thousands separator” key.

The ISO, QWERTY Canadian French and Canadian Multilingual layouts are prevalent in primarily French-speaking regions, US ANSI keyboards are commonplace as well. Of note, the Canadian Multilingual layout is most commonly seen on Apple devices, though other OEMs (e.g. Dell) have sold keyboards in this configuration.

Very much like SE, but replaces Å and ¨ with Ü and Õ respectively.

===ES (Spain and Hispanic America)===

</gallery>

There are two main layouts used in Spanish: "Spanish (Spain)", used in Spain, and "Spanish (Latin America)", common in Latin American countries (although the former layout sees some degree of usage as well).

Both have an Ñ key immediately to the right of the L key and shuffle around typographic symbols with respect to the base US layout. The easiest way of distinguishing between layouts is to look two keys to the right of the Ñ key: the "Spanish (Spain)" layout has a Ç, while the "Spanish (Latin America)" one sports a closing curly bracket (}).

===FI (Finland)=== 
Same as [[#SE (Sweden)|SE]].

===FO (Færœ Islands)===
<gallery widths="300" heights="100">

Very much like [[#DK (Denmark)|DK]], but including the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth eth] (Ð/ð) character.

===IE (Ireland)===

===IS (Iceland)===

A project by the Finnish IT Center for Science, it builds on the Swedish-Finnish layout and adds a wide array of foreign characters for communication with other Nordic and European languages. Typographical marks like em-dash and non-breaking space are also added.

===Nordic===
Sometimes labelled "NR"; a layout where four or five keys contains a combination of the key legends for SE/FI, NO and DK: the other keys are identical in the three layouts.

How the different legends are laid out differs greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer.
The Swedish/Finnish legend is often in the primary position, it having the most users.
The keys that differ have mostly the same symbols only with different modifiers, and where some manufacturers lay out each included layout in its own column, other manufacturers don't even bother differentiating.

Sometimes but rarely, the legends are in a different colour for each included layout.

===UK (United Kingdom)===

The UK PC and Macintosh layouts are different. In particular, The UK PC layout swaps " and @ relative to the US layout, while the UK Macintosh layout does not. \ is placed next to return and above right shift on a UK Macintosh keyboard, while on a UK PC keyboard it is placed next to left shift. On both Mac and PC layouts, £ is placed above 3; the PC layout moves # next to the enter key (where Macs position \), while the Macintosh keyboard omits # entirely, requiring [[option key|option]]+3 to enter it. As the option layer is not printed on Apple keyboards, it appears to the user that # cannot be typed. The [[Matias Tactile Pro]] series of keyboards for Mac do depict the option and shift+option layers on the keycaps.

On the modern PC layout, Alt Gr is used sparingly. The key to the left of 1 has three legends: ` (unshifted), ¬ (shifted) and ¦ (with Alt Gr), and Alt Gr+4 gives €. Alt Gr also adds an acute accent to the five vowels, for loanwords and for the Irish fada. Grave accents used in Scottish Gaelic cannot be entered. Welsh has its own keyboard layout.
