British Keyboard JPG attached



I attach a JPG diagram of the British keyboard. Rick's diagram, on his website, is visually more elegant, but you can't edit it, whereas you can edit this in MSPAINT (and elsewhere, if you've got other graphics programs).

I would suggest making 1 copy for each keyboard state - Unshifted, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Alt+Shift, Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (I don't bother with caps and caps+shift.) Then you can use a fine pen to write your customizations (not the keydef, but a brief description, like 'sa to A/C' 'line of dashes' 'define whole file') on the keys.

If you do this, you might want to use the erasor in Paint to get rid of things like the direction arrows, in states other than Unshifted, to get more room for writing definitions.

You can print the JPG (or JPGs) out. In MSPAINT, it will only print on 2 landscape pages, at least with my printer (don't know if the limitation is in MSPaint or the printer). In a more sophisticated program you could probably shrink it onto 1 landscape page, but there would be less room on the keys for writing key descriptions.

I print them on 2 pp, cut 1 with a guillotine and paste them together.
