QWERTY and Dvorak
In Free text Settings, choose System and then Keyboard. Windows offers US and UK QWERTY, AZERTY, national layouts and Windows Dvorak; macOS offers its listed layouts and US Dvorak. AlphaType displays a guide and does not remap your physical keyboard.
Swiss and German QWERTZ
Swiss and German QWERTZ have different accent and symbol keys. In Free text, choose the physical layout independently of CH · Deutsch or DE · Deutsch practice. The alphabet trainer instead combines the country, language and diagram in its language menu.
Match language and layout
In Free text, System determines the available layouts; changing Practice language does not change the physical layout. The alphabet trainer offers its own language and layout combinations. Check a few keys and symbols after choosing.
Modifiers across operating systems
Windows keyboards may label Control as Ctrl or Strg. Mac keyboards add Command and Option. A matching visual keyboard helps you identify the intended key without treating every platform as identical.
