Basic layout
EurKEY is based on the american keyboard layout which allows for more convenient key positions when using shortcuts (e.g. CTRL+z) and language specific characters like 'http://', '[]', …).

Basic shifted layout
Programmers will be particulary aware of previous country-specific redesigns of the keyboard layout, which make typing curly brackets almost impossible. The american layout is alot more practical for writing computer programs.

Special chars with ALT_GR
Almost all language specific letters can be generated with ALT_GR. Missing characters can also be created with the composition key, marked blue and purple in the picture. In addition, the entire greek alphabet is accessible with the composition key Ω.

Special chars with shifted ALT_GR
The shifted ALT_GR keyboard layout generates the capital counterparts of european characters. The composition key ± gives access to common math symbols. The infinite sign (∞) can be generated by pressing ALT_GR+SHIFT+M and i.

The basic layout with locked CAPS
The Caps lock generates capital letters in case there is a lowercase counterpart. This allows one to type uppercase sentences intuitively. It's possible to write the following sentence without making use of the SHIFT key: "ER HAT 3 HÜHNERAUGEN AN SEINEM LINKEN FUß."
