EurKEY basiert auf dem amerikanischen Tastaturlayout. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass häufig gebrauchte Zeichen leicht zu erreichen sind. Beispiele sind :// in http://, [] und {} im Quelltext, oder Slashes (/) und Backslashes (\) in einer Unix-Shell.

Für Programmierer sind die geschweiften Klammern im amerikanischen Layout leicht zu erreichen (ganz im Gegensatz zum deutschen Layout).

Fast alle europäischen Zeichen lassen sich mit Alt Gr zu erzeugen. Falls ein Zeichen nicht direkt einer Taste zugeordnet ist, kann es mit den Kompositionstasten (im Bild die blau und lila eingefärbten Tasten) erzeugt werden. Außerdem ist über die Kompositionstaste Ω das gesamte griechische Alphabet abgebildet.
| Taste | Erzeugbare Zeichen |
|---|---|
| ` | à, è, ì, ò, ù and uppercase |
| ^ | â, ê, î, ô, û, ŷ, ŵ and uppercase |
| ° | å, ċ, ġ, ż and uppcase |
| ´ | á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, ł, ń, ŕ, ć, ɓ, ś, ź and uppercase |
| ¬ | §, №, ½, ⅓, ¼, ⅔, ¾, ©, ℗, ®, ™, ℠, ↓, ↑, →, ←, ↘, ↙, ↖, ↗, ↔, ⇐, ⇓, ⇑, ⇒, ⇘, ⇙, ⇖, ⇗ , ⇔(Nur Windows) |
| α | Das griechische Alphabet |

Alt Gr + Shift erzeugt die großgeschriebene Variante europäischer Zeichen. Die Sondertaste ± ermöglicht einen Zugriff auf gängige Mathesymbole. So kann beispielsweise mit Alt Gr + Shift + m und i das Zeichen ∞ erzeugt werden.
| Taste | Erzeugbare Zeichen |
|---|---|
| ~ | ã, õ, ñ and uppercase |
| ˇ | ǎ, ě, ǐ, ǒ, ǔ, č, ď, ǧ, ȟ, ǰ, ǩ, ľ, ň, ř, š, ť, ž and uppercase |
| ¯ | ā, ē, ī, ō, ū, ƀ, đ, ħ, ḻ, ŧ and uppercase, Bindestrich (Viertelgeviertstrich) (1), Kleiner Gedankenstrich (Halbgeviertstrich) (2), Großer Gedankenstrich (Geviertstrich)(3) (Einiges nur unter Windows) |
| ¨ | ä, ë, ï, ö, ü, ÿ, ẅ, ẗ, ḧ, ẍ and uppercase |
| √ | ∞, √, ∑, ∏, ∟, ⁿ, ∂, −, ≠, ≈, ≤, ≥, ∫, ∩, ∕, ¼, ½ ,¾ ,°, ± und viele mehr. Siehe hier. (Nur Windows) |

Die aktivierte Caps Taste erzeugt Großbuchstaben - aber nur aber nur wenn es ein kleingeschriebenes Gegenstück gibt. Falls nicht, wird das normale Zeichen (ohne Shift-Taste) generiert.
Press Shift+Alt Gr+M, release both, then press the key listed below. Windows only.
