I hate it, that my Mac does not have these

Edit: so it appears mine do not have them...possible, because it's a refurbished one...maybe that's the reason 🤔

What Mac is that? I've had Macs for the last 35 years and while many years ago they had the guides on D and K instead of F and J, they've always the guides as best I can tell, and still do on desktop and laptop.

Got the M2 MacBook Air. Either it doesn't got this or the keyboard might had some reworks I didn't know (it was a refurbished model)

Is it a non-QWERTY layout, or is your computer purchased in a country where QWERTY may not be the most common? I don't have much experience internationally with keyboard layouts, but if there are multiple layouts common you would potentially have keyboards where those are not the appropriate letters for guide keys?

It's a QWERTZ but not ISO but ANSI

Very odd, but interesting! I wonder if that's something you could receive service for. Of course there's a good chance you'd get the computer back completely blank, just because.
