visualize here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Keyboard_layouts

On the side, here are some keyboard shortcuts: 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboard_shortcuts (not all implemented, sorry!)

More important, these cheat codes can be incredibly useful as your team 
gets to know their XOs:

Thanks Swapna & All :)
