QWERTY-keyboard when this idean came

By
QWERTY QWERTY   / ˈ k w Éœr t i /  is the most common modern-day  keyboard layout . The name comes from the first six  keys  appearing on the top left letter row of the keyboard and read from left to right: Q-W-E-R-T-Y. The QWERTY design is based on a layout created for the  Sholes and Glidden typewriter  and sold to  Remington  in 1873. It became popular with the success of the Remington No. 2 of 1878, and remains in use on electronic keyboards due to the  network effect  of a standard layout and a belief that  alternatives  fail to provide very significant advantages. [ 1 ]  The use and adoption of the QWERTY keyboard is often viewed as one of the most important case studies in  open standards  because of the widespread, collective adoption and use of the product. [ 2 ] History and purposes [ edit ] Keys are arranged on diagonal columns, to give space for the levers. Main article:  Sh...
