:) Alas, it HAD variants, because \"E, \"e were sometimes place in different
places.

I don't have documentation, but here is my keyboard:
latin unshifted:
`1234567890-=\
qwertyuiop[]
asdfghjkl;'
zxcvbnm,./
latin shifted:
~!@#$%^&*()_+|
QWERTYUIOP{}
ASDFGHJKL:"
ZXCVBNM<>?
cyrillic unshifted: (you need to have Cyrillic driver to read this, note:
the same driver as I have :)
£1234567890-=\
ÊÃÕËÅÎÇÛÝÚÈß
ÆÙ×ÁÐÒÏÌÄÖÜ
ÑÞÓÍÉÔØÂÀ.
cyrillic shifted:
³!"?;%:?*()_+/
êãõëåîçûýúèÿ
æù÷áðòïìäöü
ñþóíéôøâà,
but in Cyrillic version the layout of chacarters differs fro that is printed
on the keys,
I had to write characters on the keys myself... :(

What are English and programmers registers?
