Also, the odd zero position is not unique to the qwerty keyboard.
It is also found on the dvorak keyboard and others.

Does someone know the conventional arrangement for letters used with
movable typesetting (long ago)? Did that have 0 after 9?

For what it's worth, on the Linotype keyboard, which mostly
arranged things top to bottom and then left to right, the ``0'' key
comes under (that is, after) the ``9'', and before the ``$''.
