They suggest altering keys on the standard QWERTY layout which are less frequent in Romanian, namely q, w, y, k, x, to produce Romanian characters

Further variations were created using the keyboard layout optimizer. Other layouts lay importance on minimal key deviation from QWERTY to give a reasonable increase in typing speed and ergonomics with minimal relearning of keys. Qwpr is a layout which changes only 11 basic keys from their QWERTY positions, with only 2 of them changing
