multiple buttons, which create numbers, symbols, and letters, and special keys

the keyboard comes from the typewriter keyboards, and numbers and letters are
arranged on the keyboard in that way, which helps to type quickly.

The above keyboard design is called QWERTY design .Although the keyboard
design is derived from the typewrites, nowadays, it also includes many other keys
as well as Alt/Option, Control, and Windows key can be used as shortcuts to
perform the particular operation by combination with other keys. For example, if
