ER1 is a software that automatically installs and configures the best keyboard layout for Romanian language. It facilitates easy typing with no extra training and no need for keyboard labeling.
So, what exactly is the ER1 layout? Put simply, it is a specialized mapping and method of operation for the Romanian alphabetic diacritic characters on QWERTY and QWERTZ (not in ER1 v1.0) keyboards. In this layout, non-Romanian letters such as Q, W, Y, K, and X are moved to the AltGr shift state to make room for the Romanian diacritic letters.
This clever use of space takes advantage of the fact that each non-Romanian letter is positioned close to a base letter of diacritic letters, resulting in a layout that allows for fluent typing with virtually no training required. Furthermore, keyboard labeling is also not necessary, making the ER1 layout an intuitive and user-friendly option for those looking to improve their Romanian typing experience.
Overall, ER1 is a fantastic software application that offers significant benefits and ease of use for Romanian language users.
