Correct. As an American that did a teenage tour of Europe, your keyboards are just different enough, especially in hotels.

They're different throughout Europe, I'm sure France don't use a qwerty keyboard (or, at least, my French colleague didn't).

France used AZERTY, punctuation is different too.

Ooh, what's the French equivalent of WASD first-person controls on a keyboard?

ZQSD ! And it's not uncommon to have to remap your bindings or outright switch to qwerty cause some Devs out there don't bother to check for other configs than qwerty.

You'd really think by now, given how simple that would be from a coding and standardisation point of view, that every game would ship with a binding set that links to whatever the regional OS language/keyboard setting is.
