Qwerty es el inventor del acomodo mismo
After it purchased the device, Remington made several adjustments which created a keyboard with what is essentially the modern QWERTY layout. Theiradjustments included placing the "R" key in the place previously allotted to the full stop, thus enabling salesmen to impress customers by pecking out the brand name "TYPE WRITER" from one keyboard row.[8]Vestiges of the original alphabetical layout remained in the "home row" sequence DFGHJKL.[9]
The QWERTY layout became popular with the success of the Remington No. 2 of 1878, the first typewriter toinclude both upper and lower case letters, via a shift key.
Much less commented-on than the order of the keys is that the keys are not on a grid, but rather that each column slants diagonally; this isdue to the mechanical linkages – each key being attached to a lever, and hence the offset prevents the levers from running into each other – and has been retained in most electronic keyboards. Somekeyboards, such as the Kinesis, retain the QWERTY layout but arrange the keys in vertical columns, to reduce unnecessary lateral finger motion.[10]
[edit] Differences from modern layout

LathamSholes' 1878 QWERTY keyboard layout
The QWERTY layout depicted in Sholes' 1878 patent includes a few differences from the modern layout, most notably in the absence of the numerals 0 and 1, with each ofthe remaining numerals shifted one position to the left of their modern counterparts. The letter M is located at the end of the third row to the right of the letter L rather than on the fourth row tothe right of the N, the letters X and C are reversed, and most punctuation marks are in different positions or are missing entirely.[11] 0 and 1 were omitted to simplify the design and reduce themanufacturing and maintenance costs; they were chosen specifically because they were "redundant" and could be recreated using other keys. Typists who learned on these machines learned the habit of using...
