I want to buy a laptop with Windows 8 with the German keyboard QWERTZ but i will only use it for English and Greek language.
So, i will change the language from control panel to English and work like this. I don't care if Z and Y letters will physically appear the opposite, or if some other strange symbols will be on the keys.
What i really care about and want to clear is :
If i switch to english/greek language using the German keyboard QWERTZ, will all the keys work exactly the same as in a QWERTY keyboard? All the letters/shortcuts/symbols/shift-ctrl-alt combinations etc will work the same?
Answer
Yes, the keys will work the same, provided the physical layout (i.e. number and placement of keys) is the same between your german QWERTZ and english/greek QWERTY keyboard.
For my localized danish keyboard, there is the same number and placement of keys, so I can use a US keyboard layout with no problems on my physical DK (danish) keyboard.
