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)?
I’m italian and I’m absolutely ashamed to say that I use an italian ISO keyboard for programming. It’s missing some symbols like the backtick but I can’t get used to US ANSI so I just configured some macros to type the missing characters.
