The functions in function row (F1\u2013F12, media, etc.) often differ depending on which mode the keyboard is set to. ([keychronsupport.zendesk.com](https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/8914373226775-Keychron-Q3-User-Manual?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Layers**: On Q3, there are four layers. Layers change which functions are active when holding the Fn or MO key. ([keychronsupport.zendesk.com](https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/8914373226775-Keychron-Q3-User-Manual?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Firmware / VIA / QMK / Launcher**: If a shortcut isn\u2019t working, your keyboard might need a firmware update, or your particular model may not support that shortcut. Keychron Launcher / QMK / VIA could customize many shortcuts. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q3-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Long-press vs short-press**: For many shortcuts you need to hold the keys together for several seconds (often ~4\u20136 seconds) for the feature to activate (e.g. reset, mode toggle, etc.).  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which exact Q3 or Q6 model you have (for example: \u201cQ3 Ultra 8K\u201d, or \u201cQ6 HE QMK\u201d, or \u201cQ6 Bluetooth non-knob\u201d), I can give you a *customized* list for *your specific version*, to avoid showing shortcuts you don\u2019t have. Would you like me to do that?"

        "content": "Yes \u2014 because your Q6 Ultra supports Keychron\u2019s Launcher app and uses VIA/QMK-style firmware, you *can* remap keys. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-ultra-8k-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere\u2019s how to set up the behavior you want: make **Fn + Right Windows Key** act like the **Applications key / Shift + F10**:\n\n---\n\n## Steps to remap Fn + Right Windows Key \u2192 Applications / Shift+F10\n\n1. **Install/launch Keychron Launcher**  \n   Use a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera). Plug your keyboard in via USB. Open the Launcher web app from Keychron\u2019s site. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-ultra-8k-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Make sure firmware is up to date**  \n   If your Q6 Ultra\u2019s firmware is old, some remaps may not work correctly. Launcher allows firmware updates. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-ultra-8k-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Confirm correct system mode (Mac vs Windows)**  \n   If your keyboard has a system-mode toggle, set it to **Windows/Android** when using Windows. When that toggle is in Windows mode, the base layer is **Layer 2**, the \u201cFn-layer\u201d is **Layer 3**. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/choose-the-correct-layer-in-via?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Load / import correct VIA JSON if needed**  \n   If Launcher\u2019s interface shows VIA compatibility or loadable JSON definitions, make sure you have the correct JSON for your Q6 Ultra Knob model. That ensures all keys\u2014including the Windows key\u2014are visible for remapping. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/z7i5vd?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **In Launcher: go to Keymap \u2192 Layer 3 (Windows + Fn layer)**  \n   Because you want **Fn + Right Windows Key** to trigger Applications key (or \u201cMenu\u201d key), you remap on the Windows Fn-layer\u2014that\u2019s Layer 3 in Windows mode. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/choose-the-correct-layer-in-via?utm_source=openai))\n\n6. **Find the Right Windows Key in the layer**  \n   Identify the physical Right Windows key in Layer 3. Might be labeled \u201cRWin\u201d or special in the UI.\n\n7. **Set up a macro or dual\u2010key mapping**  \n   Use Launcher\u2019s macro or special key section to assign the combination:  \n   - Option A: Remap Right Windows \u2192 APPLICATIONS/Menu key when pressed with Fn.  \n   - Option B: Create a macro so **\u201cRight Win + Fn\u201d** sends \u201cShift + F10\u201d.  \n\n   In VIA/QMK terminology, you might assign the Right Win key position (on Layer 3) to the keycode `KC_APP` (Applications/Menu key) or to a macro like `{KC_LSFT, KC_F10}`. Launcher should support that. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/blogs/archived/how-to-use-via-to-program-your-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n8. **Save / flash the keymap**  \n   After making edits, apply/save so the keyboard writes the new map. Usually this means clicking save or confirm in Launcher; sometimes the device resets internally to use the new layout. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/blogs/archived/how-to-use-via-to-program-your-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n9. **Test**  \n   Unplug or disconnect wireless, reconnect via USB (if needed), try pressing **Fn + Right Windows Key** \u2014 it should behave like APPLICATIONS key or Shift + F10, depending on how you set it.  \n\n---\n\n## Things to be aware of\n\n- The **Fn key itself** often isn\u2019t remappable; you cannot usually change *which key* is \u201cFn\u201d to something else. ([keychronsupport.zendesk.com](https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044588073-How-to-remap-reprogrammable-reassign-keys?utm_source=openai))  \n- Choose the correct layer\u2014if you remap on base layer (without Fn) it may override normal Right Windows behavior even when pressing it alone.  \n- If you want only *Fn + RWin* to act differently, only change the key in the Fn layer (Layer 3). Leave its base layer alone.  \n- If Launcher or VIA doesn\u2019t immediately show the Windows key or macro options, make sure your firmware supports custom keycodes like `KC_APP` or shift+F10 macros. Sometimes these are considered \u201cspecial\u201d.  \n- After remapping, some OSes may still intercept the right Windows key differently; but APPLICATIONS key is a standard Windows keycode, so usually it works system\u2010wide.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can give you an *exact mapping file text (JSON) snippet* that you can paste into VIA/Launcher so **Fn + Right Windows = Applications key**. Would that be helpful?"

I\u2019ll also explain how to insert it into your VIA/Launcher setup in a completely non-visual way.\n\n---\n\n## JSON snippet (example)\n\nBelow is an example JSON fragment. It assumes you have a layout with Right Windows key at a known position. You'll replace `RWIN_POS_ROW` and `RWIN_POS_COL` with your actual row and column numbers for the right Windows key in Layer 3 (Windows + Fn-layer).  \n\n```json\n{\n  \"keymap\": [\n    /* other rows omitted */\n    [\n      /* columns before Right Win in Row RWIN_POS_ROW */\n      { \"row\": RWIN_POS_ROW, \"col\": RWIN_POS_COL, \"val\": \"KC_APP\" }\n      /* other columns after if needed */\n    ]\n    /* other rows below */\n  ],\n  \"layers\": [\n    /* layer 0 data */,\n    /* layer 1 data */,\n    /* layer 2 data */,\n    {\n      /* This is layer 3 data (Windows + Fn held) */\n      \"row\": RWIN_POS_ROW,\n      \"col\": RWIN_POS_COL,\n      \"val\": \"KC_APP\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nIf instead of `KC_APP` (applications key), you prefer `Shift + F10`, you replace `\"KC_APP\"` with a macro reference, e.g. `\"M0\"` and elsewhere in your JSON define `M0` like:\n\n```json\n\"macros\": {\n  \"M0\": [ \"KC_LSFT\", \"KC_F10\" ]\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n## Step-by-step to load this into VIA / Keychron Launcher (non-visual, screen-reader friendly)\n\nHere are instructions you can follow without needing seeing UI, using keyboard and screen-reader cues. I\u2019ll assume you're using VIA or Keychron Launcher over a Chromium browser (Edge/Chrome).  \n\n1. Plug keyboard in via USB cable. Ensure it\u2019s detected.\n\n2. Open VIA or Launcher in your browser.\n\n3. Authorize the device when prompted. If there's a prompt that says \u201cAuthorize device,\u201d press Tab until it is focused, then Enter to accept.\n\n4. Find the OS toggle switch on your keyboard and set it to \u201cWindows/Android\u201d mode \u2014 this changes the active layer pair. (You can feel or locate the switch physically; it often has indicators like \u201cWin / Mac.\u201d)\n\n5. In VIA/Launcher, navigate to the **\u201cDesign\u201d** tab (or it may say \u201cKeymap\u201d). You may need to use Ctrl + Tab to move between tabs until you hear focus on \u201cDesign.\u201d \n\n6. If the keyboard is not recognized automatically, press Tab to \u201cImport Keymap JSON\u201d or \u201cLoad JSON file.\u201d (Often something like \u201cDesign,\u201d then \u201cConfirm\u201d or \u201cLoad Definition.\u201d) Use Enter when that is focused, then navigate with file-dialog keyboard controls to select the JSON file you edited (the file with `\"KC_APP\"` or `\"M0\"` in it).\n\n7. Once loaded, Tab to the **Layers** selection control. There are usually four layers:  \n   \u2003 \u2022 Layer 0 \u2013 Base Mac  \n   \u2003 \u2022 Layer 1 \u2013 Mac + Fn  \n   \u2003 \u2022 Layer 2 \u2013 Base Windows  \n   \u2003 \u2022 Layer 3 \u2013 Windows + Fn  \n\n   Press the key or use arrow keys until Layer 3 is selected.\n\n8. Navigate to the key in the virtual layout that corresponds to Right Windows key (Row = RWIN_POS_ROW, Column = RWIN_POS_COL). This virtual key should have been assigned in the JSON to `\"KC_APP\"` or to a macro \u201cM0.\u201d\n\n9. If using macro (M0), ensure that macros section (or Macro tab) has an entry \u201cM0\u201d defined as `[ \"KC_LSFT\", \"KC_F10\" ]`.\n\n10. Once satisfied, find the \u201cSave\u201d, \u201cFlash\u201d, or \u201cApply\u201d button. Tab to that and press Enter. Wait for keyboard to reprogram\u2014it might blink or lose connection briefly.\n\n11. Test: hold down **Fn** and press Right Windows key. It should now produce the Applications key (or Shift+F10 action). Test in Notepad or wherever you can insert text or open context menus (Applications key usually pops menu under cursor, Shift+F10 also).\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can create a fully filled-out JSON file for your specific layout (ANSI/ISO, knob/no knob) so you can load it directly. Would you tell me:  \n \u2022 whether your Q6 Ultra is ANSI or ISO layout, and  \n \u2022 whether it has the knob (volume knob) version?\n\nThen I\u2019ll generate the exact JSON file for you."

Keychron gives you tools to program it. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere are common uses:\n\n1. Volume control  \n   - Turn the knob left/right to decrease or increase volume.  \n   - Press the knob to mute or restore volume (or toggling mute). ([bhphotovideo.com](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1945555-REG/keychron_q6u_m3_q6_ultra_8k_wireless.html?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. Media controls  \n   - In some firmware, pressing can play/pause.  \n   - Turning may skip tracks forward or back (with specific setup). ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. Brightness control  \n   - If mapped, turning adjusts screen/backlight brightness.  \n   - Pressing might toggle brightness, or switch between brightness levels. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. Macro functions  \n   - You can set the knob to control custom macros: e.g. brush size in art software, zoom in/out, switching pictures. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. RGB / Backlight effects  \n   - Turn knob to change lighting hue or cycle effect modes.  \n   - Press knob to switch between backlighting on/off, or toggle zones. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How to Program the Knob\n\nHere are steps to program or reassign what the knob does:\n\n- Use **Keychron Launcher** (a web app) or **VIA/ZMK/QMK firmware** tools. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q6-ultra-8k-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n- In the firmware that supports knobs or rotary encoders, knob events show up as special \u201cencoder\u201d entries. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/yzf56e?utm_source=openai))  \n- You load or import the correct JSON for your layout (knob version vs non-knob, ISO vs ANSI). The JSON will include an encoder section. Then you assign what turning clockwise or counter-clockwise does, and what pressing (if supported) does. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1axit2b?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Limitations & What You MAY Not Be Able to Do Yet\n\n- **Knob settings might not show up in VIA** unless you're using a firmware version that fully supports the custom encoder. Some users report knob present but not programmable until firmware update. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/yzf56e?utm_source=openai))  \n- The knob\u2019s press function may not be available natively or may not be mapped in your version. Sometimes only turning actions are supported.  \n- Certain effects or behaviors require updated firmware. If your firmware is older, you may not have full control. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/yzf56e?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf it helps, I can walk you through how to check (with screen reader cues) if your current firmware supports the knob\u2019s full features, and how to update it if not. Do you want that?"

These instructions are screen-reader friendly, focused on keyboard navigation and audible feedback.\n\n---\n\n## What You\u2019ll Need First\n\n- A computer running Windows, macOS, or Linux.  \n- A USB cable to connect the keyboard.  \n- The correct JSON file for your keyboard model (with knob or without, ANSI or ISO layout). ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/firmware-and-json-files-of-the-keychron-qmk-v-and-v-max-series-keyboards?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How to Get the JSON File\n\n1. Go to Keychron\u2019s website and navigate to **Firmware and JSON Files** for QMK/VIA-enabled keyboards, or use the JSON section for \u201cQ6 Knob version ANSI or ISO\u201d. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/firmware-and-json-files-of-the-keychron-qmk-keyboards?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Download the correct JSON file to your computer. Make sure it matches your keyboard\u2019s layout (knob vs non-knob, ANSI vs ISO). ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1lx6q8k?utm_source=openai))  \n3. If the file is inside a ZIP archive, extract it so you have the .json file itself. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1lx6q8k?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## How to Load the JSON File into VIA / Keychron Launcher\n\nHere are steps you follow with your keyboard and screen reader:\n\n1. Plug your keyboard into the computer using USB.  \n2. Open VIA or Keychron Launcher in a compatible browser (one based on Chromium, like Chrome or Edge). ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-do-a-key-tester-for-keychron-qmk-via-enabled-keychron-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n3. In VIA:  \n   a. Use Tab to move focus to the \u201cSettings\u201d section. Press Enter when focused.  \n   b. Find \u201cShow Design tab\u201d or similar option. Use arrow or Tab keys until you encounter it. Check it (press Space or Enter). VIA will announce when the Design tab appears. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-do-a-key-tester-for-keychron-qmk-via-enabled-keychron-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n\n   In Keychron Launcher: It may have a \u201cKeymap\u201d or \u201cDesign\u201d section instead. Find via Tab to menu bar. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-use-via-to-pair-with-keychron-q-series-keyboard?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. Once \u201cDesign\u201d or \u201cKeymap\u201d tab is active:  \n   a. Use Tab/Shift-Tab to move to \u201cLoad\u201d or \u201cImport keymap\u201d option. The label might be \u201cLoad JSON,\u201d \u201cImport keymap,\u201d or \u201cUpload definition.\u201d Press Enter when focused. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-use-via-to-pair-with-keychron-q-series-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n   b. A file dialog opens. Your screen reader should speak the name of the dialog window (e.g. \u201cOpen file,\u201d \u201cSelect file to upload\u201d). Use Tab to select the file name field, type in the path or use arrow keys to navigate to the folder containing your JSON file.  \n   c. Use Enter or Space to select the JSON file. Confirm with Enter (sometimes a \u201cOpen\u201d or \u201cSelect\u201d button).  \n\n5. After loading the JSON file, focus shifts to either a dialog listing available keyboard definitions. Use Tab to move through list until hearing your keyboard name. Press Enter to select/confirm. VIA or Launcher will say something like \u201cKeyboard connected\u201d or \u201cPaired.\u201d ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-do-a-key-tester-for-keychron-qmk-via-enabled-keychron-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n\n6. Once connected: Go to the \u201cConfigure\u201d tab (or sometimes \u201cKeymap\u201d tab). Use Tab until you reach layer selection. You should now see all keys laid out. If keyboard isn\u2019t yet recognized, you may need to unplug cable and plug back in. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/yv1urr?utm_source=openai))  \n\n7. If all is correct, any remapping you make (for example using Fn + Right Windows) will be accepted. Then look for \u201cSave\u201d, \u201cApply\u201d, or \u201cFlash\u201d button. Tab to that and press Enter. Wait for feedback, like a blinking light or sound, or screen reader announcement. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/pages/how-to-use-via-to-pair-with-keychron-q-series-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Common Issues & What to Do\n\n- VIA doesn\u2019t recognize the keyboard automatically. In that case: unplug keyboard, load the JSON file first, then plug the keyboard in. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/uzbokh?utm_source=openai))  \n- The JSON file version must match layout (ANSI vs ISO, knob vs no-knob). If it\u2019s wrong, VIA can give JSON errors. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/10ur4bc?utm_source=openai))  \n- Sometimes you need to toggle a \u201cUse V2 definitions\u201d switch in VIA settings when loading JSON. If loading gives errors or VIA seems not corresponding, check that setting. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/zh8m4n?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which **operating system** you use (Windows, macOS, Linux) I can also give OS-specific keystrokes to help navigate the file dialog or grant VIA permission, etc. Do you want that?"

Switch the keyboard\u2019s system toggle (on the top left of the keyboard) to **Windows mode** \u2014 so the keyboard is set for Windows. ([device.report](https://device.report/manual/3865041?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Download the proper Q6 JSON keymap file for your layout (ANSI vs ISO, knob vs no-knob) from Keychron\u2019s site. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/z7i5vd?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Open the VIA app/site. Plug the keyboard in via USB. VIA should detect it. If not, keep going to next steps. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/blogs/archived/how-to-use-via-to-program-your-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n4. In VIA, go to **Settings** \u2192 turn on **\u201cShow Design tab\u201d**. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/blogs/archived/how-to-use-via-to-program-your-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n5. In the Design tab, **import (load)** the downloaded JSON file. VIA should then show the keyboard layout matching your Q6 version. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/z7i5vd?utm_source=openai))  \n6. Still in VIA: click the **Configure** tab \u2192 the **Keymap** section. Locate the \u201cRight Windows\u201d key in the virtual keyboard layout display.  \n7. Click that key once. It should highlight.  \n8. From the list of key functions (Basic / Special / Layers etc.), pick the function you want it to have instead (e.g. \u201cApplications\u201d key / context menu / macro).  \n9. After selecting, VIA will update the display so the virtual key shows the new function.  \n10. Test to ensure it works in Windows. If not, check that you're editing **Layer 2** (Windows base layer) \u2014 because Layer 0/1 are Mac layers and changes there won\u2019t apply in Windows mode. ([device.report](https://device.report/manual/3865041?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Instructions using Keychron Launcher\n\nIf VIA is not preferred, Launcher is often easier to use:\n\n1. Switch keyboard\u2019s system toggle to **Windows mode**. ([device.report](https://device.report/manual/3865041?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Open the launcher in Chrome/Edge/Opera. Plug the keyboard in. Authorize it via the \u201cConnect\u201d / \u201cAuthorize device\u201d button. ([keychron.ca](https://keychron.ca/blogs/news/how-to-use-launcher-to-program-your-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Go to the **Keymap** or **Map / Keymap** section in Launcher. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/blogs/news/how-to-use-launcher-to-program-your-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n4. Click the \u201cRight Windows\u201d key in the on-screen keyboard graphic. It should highlight. ([keychron.com](https://www.keychron.com/blogs/news/how-to-use-launcher-to-program-your-keyboard?utm_source=openai))  \n5.

([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/ansi-vs-iso-keyboard/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - ISO: an \u201cupside-down L\u201d shaped Enter key that takes up two rows. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/ansi-vs-iso-keyboard/?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Left Shift key size**  \n   - ANSI: the left Shift is full-width, usually long and rectangular \u2014 same wide style as ANSI design. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/ansi-vs-iso-keyboard/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - ISO: the left Shift is smaller, often about half its ANSI size, because there\u2019s an extra key next to it. ([attackshark.co.uk](https://attackshark.co.uk/blogs/knowledges/ansi-iso-layout-modding-guide?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. **Placement of the backslash (\\\\ |) key**  \n   - ANSI layouts often place the backslash key **above** the Enter key. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/ansi-vs-iso-keyboard/?utm_source=openai))  \n   - ISO moves it to the row **below**, just to the left of the Enter key. ([attackshark.co.uk](https://attackshark.co.uk/blogs/knowledges/ansi-iso-layout-modding-guide?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. **Extra key near Left Shift**  \n   - ISO has one more key next to the left Shift. That extra key is often a \u201c< >\u201d or \u201c|\u201d key. ([monsgeek.eu](https://monsgeek.eu/blogs/guide/ansi-vs-iso-whats-the-best-keyboard-layout?utm_source=openai))  \n   - ANSI doesn't have that \u2014 the space next to left Shift is used by a much larger Shift key itself. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/ansi-vs-iso-keyboard/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Simple test you can do\n\n- Look at your Enter key:\n  - If it\u2019s long and rectangular \u2192 probably **ANSI**.\n  - If it\u2019s shaped like an inverted L, spanning two rows \u2192 **ISO**.\n\n- Look at Left Shift and the key immediately to its right:\n  - If Left Shift is full length and there\u2019s no extra key next to it \u2192 ANSI.\n  - If Left Shift is shorter, and there\u2019s an extra key between Shift and \u201cZ\u201d / the bottom row \u2192 ISO.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can send pictures of both layouts side-by-side so your friend can Just look and match \u2014 would that help?"
