French use AZERTY (and Germans QWERTZ).

Italian layout seemed to have all the special keys in the same place : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Itali … oard_layout.svg

Confermo che è un layout italiano. 😀

That's an italian keyboard. As Tiido said, French keyboards are AZERTY and also have that abomination where the symbols in the upper row are the default choice and to write a number you have to shift them.

Couldn't agree more. That's why I've always found it to pe a pain to use laptops without actual numberpads - makes you lose so much time when inputting numbers. Honestly the whole AZERTY layout is a bit of a mess - there were talks about changing it a while ago but I don't know how far they got with this. It's a bit like a country deciding to switch to a different type of electrical sockets... when the system is already built it might be difficult or impossible to switch to a new one...
