(Note that this is also true of UK Mac keyboards, which more closely

How would you measure "easy typability"? On what keyboard layout? Would you
write "Yes" and "No", or "quite easy", or marks out of 10?

The same question: how do you summarise this in a table? Complexity of the

source of information for making a decision.
