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)?
Fellow PT-PT ISO user here. And although I use PT-PT in the OS, both my mechanical keyboards' physical layout is DE ISO, which has most special symbols in the same place. (finding DE keyboards is easier)
I've considered switching to UK ISO before. Typing brackets "
[] {}" and a semicolon ";" is harder in PT-PT. Especially the curly brackets{}, which are really awkward to type with my small hands.
