I’ve used a US-QWERTY keyboard layout my entire life. I’ve seen other layouts that do things like reduce the size of the enter/backspace keys, move the pipe operator (|) and can’t wrap my head around how I would code on those.
What are your experiences? Are there any layouts that you prefer for coding over US English? Are there any symbols that you have a hard time reaching ( for example)?
Started on US, now using DE for decades. But able to still use us. Slash position is a plus there.
But Swiss, that’s the stuff of nightmares! Oh and mac while usable unnecessarily sucks too imo.
Ha, that sounds funny (in a morbid kind of way…). What’s so bad about it?
If I recall correctly (it’s been a while) it seems just fine and familiar (to DE I think) but when you start using it it’s just different enough to basically mess everything up and require you to validate everything.
