If you choose to use an external keyboard, a keyboard with the "English/USA international"
layout is recommended.
The keyboard layout for Windows is also set up for "English/USA international". This ensures
the use of standard key codes (for example, entering a "y" on the external keyboard and a
"y" on the internal keyboard produces a "y" on the display in both cases).
