Uniquely, Aplette removes APL's [[glyph]]s while basically retaining [[typing glyphs|the way they are typed]]. This scheme, dubbed ''APL-touchtype'', uses <kbd>Shift</kbd> as APL key and <kbd>@</kbd> as [[overstrike]] key, so instead of <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍴</syntaxhighlight> (normally produced with <kbd>APL</kbd>+<kbd>r</kbd>) one would write <syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>R</syntaxhighlight> (<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>r</kbd>), and instead of <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍟</syntaxhighlight> (traditionally produced with <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>○</syntaxhighlight> ― <kbd>APL</kbd>+<kbd>o</kbd> ― overstruck with <syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>*</syntaxhighlight>) one would write <syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>O@*</syntaxhighlight>. This maps all APL glyphs to ASCII characters or sequences. | Uniquely, Aplette removes APL's [[glyph]]s while basically retaining [[typing glyphs|the way they are typed]].
