Despite the fact that Singapore inherits many things from Britain by dint of its former colonisation, Singapore does not use the UK Keyboard layout but uses the US Keyboard layout instead, resulting in great confusion and many hastily misdirected emails due to the unexpected movement of the @ sign across the keyboard. However, the more logical reason is that we don't use the pound (£) symbol and so have no need of the UK keyboard.
Most keyboards outside of Europe do not have the AltGr Key or the Euro symbol.
AltGr Key
The AltGr Key allows one to type in Polish, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Latvian, Macedonian, German, and French. Groovy.
Euro Symbol
How to get the Euro Symbol (€):
- Windows: Ctrl-Alt-4 / Alt+0128
- Mac: Option-Shift-2
