I struggle when I go to Hungary as they move a couple of letters - I think it's the Y and Z are moved.

Had the same when I went to Turkey last year - lower-case 'i' is a different key to upper-case (located where @ is on my UK keyboard*). Ended up throwing in the towel, and writing all my e-maIls with a bunch of capItal letters In them, because It was easIer than constantly havIng to compensate. Really, really jarring!
*...which I point out, because US keyboards are different, with @ and " being swapped over - I've been to a couple of places where @ is on the same key as 2, and it throws my touch-typing no end when it comes to quotations and e-mail addresses...

I have a German typewriter in the basement, (I don't know how) it has the QWERTY layout with ü and ß keys to the right of the p and ä and ö right of the l. It does raise the question of whether this layout is equally well-suited (or equally ill-suited) to other languages. It also raises the thought of a Russian keyboard with QWERTY layout and Cyrillic keys surrounding it on all sides!

I wasn't thinking far enough ahead mentioning voice recognition. Who knows how far we are from thought recognition?
Not as crazy as it first sounds, I'll bet.

Thought recognition is going to cause all sorts of problems with search histories on the Internet! I know my mind can wander...

**
That's because Turkish has two "I"s - one dotted, one not,
in both upper and lower case. The "i" is a long "e" sound,
where as the undotted "I" is more of an "uh" sound.
