Actually this is why this "Typewriter" layout have dead before now. It was too weird to type a number on a PC while holding the shift pressed. These days you'll hardly ever find a keyboard with such a layout but in the begin of 90's people suffered of the incredible amount of keyboards produced with such a layout.
