US Keylayout Cheatsheet

Note: This cheatsheet covers only the base and shift layers, which are consistent across all operating systems. The Alt/Option layer is excluded because both the required key combinations AND the resulting characters vary significantly between:

• Windows (uses numeric Alt codes)
• macOS (uses Option key combinations)
• Linux (varies by distribution; uses Compose key or AltGr)
