I must say I mainly use the French AZERTY keyboard when it comes to
typing in English and French, and the Turkish Q layout when typing in
Turkish. I'm much faster with AZERTY, so I seldom use the Turkish Q
layout (with FreeDOS, only for testing and translating purposes).

There's the Q layout, derived from the American QWERTY used by the huge
majority of Turkish people, and the F layout optimized for typing
efficiently and quickly. I think he means both, but I'll let him answer.

I think Emir on this list uses the F layout, I use the Q one. There's
Ercan, the author or Minibox and FDTUI too, I don't know which one he
prefers. They certainly both are way more skilled than me, but maybe
with some hand holding I could see if the drivers work correctly for the
Q layout. Hopefully it will be feasible to find people to test the
drivers for both layouts on this list.

Thank you!
