The Amiga implementation of the applicable ANSI standard for *alternate*
layout of keys on a keyboard (i.e. "dvorak", not "querty") is...
* `~ 1! 2@ 3# 4$ 5% 6^ 7& 8* 9( 0) \| =+ }{ 7 8 9
* '" ,< .> pP yY fF gG cC rR lL /? ][ 4 5 6
* aA oO eE uU iI dD hH tT nN sS -_ 1 2 3
* ;: qQ jJ kK xX bB mM wW vV zZ 0 .

*---------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* for reference, here's USA

* `~ 1! 2@ 3# 4$ 5% 6^ 7& 8* 9( 0) -_ =+ \| 7 8 9
* qQ wW eE rR tT yY uU iI oO pP [{ ]} 4 5 6
* aA sS dD fF gG hH jJ kK lL ;: '" 1 2 3
* zZ xX cC vV bB nN mM ,< .> /? 0 .
^lifted from the MC68000 assembler source comments :-)
I suspect the differences are due to the fact that the standards only
address a subset of the key positions: it's been 5 years so I don't
guarantee the details.
