> UNFORTUNATELY, typewriters are a bit different than this.  

*Which* typewriters are you referring to?  Remember, all
typewriters don't have the same keyboard either!  Some
have the digit '1', some leave it out and you have to make do
with 'l' (lower case 'L'). Manuals (as in non-electric) don't
have a 'return' key, they have a *lever* that performs the
CR-LF function. Some have fraction characters, e.g. things
like 1/2 and 1/4 are a single character.  Some have a few
keys that you can change to get special language/math symbols.
(not to mention the kind with the replacable ball)

And so on, and so on...
