# keyboardTypeFirst

An unsigned 32-bit integer specifying the first keyboard type in this entry. For the initial entry (that is, the default entry) in an array of UCKeyboardTypeHeader structures, you should set this value to 0. The initial UCKeyboardTypeHeader entry is used if the keyboard type passed to the function UCKeyTranslate(_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:_:) does not match any other entry, that is, if it is not within the range of values specified by keyboardTypeFirst and keyboardTypeLast for any entry.

## Declaration

```swift
var keyboardTypeFirst: UInt32
```
