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)?
Pro tip for enjoyers of any layout: You don’t need to buy a different physical layout to type in a different layout. You can just switch it out on the software side. The computer has no idea and does not care what’s printed on the keycaps.
