Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts? (upload.wikimedia.org)

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 should try that out. I've been using DVORAK for a while but have been thinking of switching to NEO

Oh, yeah you should. I mean I'd advice against it, but since you already know the pain of switching layouts… sure, go ahead! :D

I prefer Bone over Neo, Neo has quite broad software support though. I'm using Bone on Linux and macOS without any issues.

Could you please give a few insights into why bone over neo? I've used neo now for a few years, curious if it would be a fun extension to switch again!
