Are you aware that there are two layouts for Turkish? I use Q and don't have much trouble with it.

Almost everyone uses Q in Turkey. F layout is in fact more convenient to Turkish
language, typewriters were in F keyboard. But insertion of computers into market has been
very splendid in Turkey and Q set settled spontaneously with it.
Today, governement wants to encourage the usage of F set but as we all know, the hardest
thing to do is to change something to which you are used to.

Thanks - I didn't notice that Turkish has two choices for layout. I just set my computer
to default to 'q,' which makes things a lot easier!

The Turkish keyboard layout is so confusing! The best I can manage is to use a site
like Turkish Type It, where I can type normally
until I need a Turkish letter.

Thanks, That's perfect :)
How does one change the layout? And, most importantly, what does it do to the rest of the languages? Do I fix turkish and jumble greek and English?

There's a 'language bar' you can use in Windows. The default, at least in the US, is the
"English - United State" layout. Google "language bar" to see how you set it up. Once you
have done this, there will be an icon at the bottom of your screen. When I want to switch
layouts you simply need to click on the bar and select your language.
I use "English - International" when I need to type in a language that has lots of accent
marks, like Spanish or French.

By the way, when typing in Turkish, many Turkish people just use non-accented letters
instead of the special ones. There is also a site (http://www.seslisozluk.net/yazim-
turkcelestir/) that can transform that kind of writing into the real Turkish letters, for
instance, it can change "gorusuruz" into "görüşürüz".
I also use English-International keyboard for French, but I don't think it has the
Turkish ı letter.
