Don't forget the '[' key, and most of the other non-alpha, non-numeric keys
are located all over the place on international keyboards of the PC-AT variety.
Here's its location on some keyboards I know:
German Third quadrant of the 8 key. Use CTRL/Alt-Gr/8 to get escape!
Swedish/Finnish Same as German, but legend on front of key rather than on top
French/Canadian Third quadrant of the '[' key on the US keyboard. Usre CTRL/Alt-GR/[
Spanish Same location as French/Canadian, but legend on front of key
rather than on top of key
Norwegian Same as Swedish/Finnish
Danish Same as Swedish/Finnish
Italian Same as Spanish
Swiss Same as Spanish
UK Same as US
French Third quadrant of '5' key, legend on front
By contrast, the ESC key is the top left key on all these keyboards.
