Okay, and? The person you replied to you is talking about ISO versus ANSI layouts… which define the rest of the keys on a keyboard. They were talking about QWERTY. So clearly there are other keyboard layouts that matter.
Keyboards have two layouts: a physical layout and a logical layout. The physical layout defines what the keyboard looks like, and the logical layout defines what signal each key sends to the computer. Qwerty is a logical layout, ISO and ANSI are physical layouts. Qwerty keyboards exist commonly in both ISO and ANSI layouts.

What even are these layouts? Macintosh ones?
It dictates the location and size of certain keys.
For example the needlessly large enter key on ISO or the annoyingly small left shift key in ISO. You could very likely prefer ANSI as well.
But the character key layout is still QWERTY
Yes however you’re the only one talking about the alphanumeric keys.

Oh ok now I get it. Thanks for explaining
