Detailed explanation-1: -QWERTY refers to the first six letters on the upper row of the keyboard. The key arrangement was devised by Christopher Latham Sholes, whose Type-Writer, as it was then called, was first mass-produced in 1874. Since that time, it has become what may be the most ubiquitous machine-user interface of all time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why is Q the first letter of the keyboard?
Detailed explanation-3: -QWERTY (/ˈkwɜːrti/) is a keyboard layout for Latin-script alphabets. The name comes from the order of the first six keys on the top left letter row of the keyboard ( Q W E R T Y ).
Detailed explanation-4: -The ‘qwerty’ keyboard was designed for use on typewriters so that frequently used letters were spread apart, avoiding clashing or jamming of the most used ‘hammers’.
Detailed explanation-5: -In addition to letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and symbols, the typing keys also include Shift, Caps Lock, Tab, Enter, the Spacebar, and Backspace.
