> As a luxembourgish person, encountering many keyboards in schools, offices, through laptops i bought etc, the swiss (french) layout is by far the most common. I have never seen an Azerty used in practice except by french people.

I won't disagree with that but, living in Luxembourg, I head to the closest supermarket, a "Cora" also selling keyboards, mice, USB sticks, etc. and I can buy an AZERTY layout if I want to (they've got both QWERTZ and AZERTY keyboards).

That said, just like you: I type using a QWERTY layout.

Yeah good point, I also checked hifi.lu and saturn.lu and in both cases azerty seems to be top suggested choice. Its just weird to me, because I have never encountered azerty in the wild in luxembourg. All family, friends (all but one), colleagues, .. use the swiss layout. And I also know that default choice at university of luxembourg and the government is swiss french...
