As far as I know there are these;

  • Camel case = coolFileName
  • Snake case = cool_file_name
  • Kebab case = cool-file-name
  • Pascal case = CoolFileName
  • Dot notation = cool.file.name
  • Flat case = coolfilename
  • Screaming case = COOLFILENAME

Personally I prefer the kebab/dot conventions simply because they allow for easy “navigation” with (ctrl+arrow keys) between each part. What are your preferences when it comes to this? Did I miss any schemes?

    Typing \ in those cases instead of _ is super annoying.

    In my keyboard layout backspace is behind altgr.

      the standard keyboard layouts (qwerty, qwertz, etc.) are mostly trash

      are there any good alternative keyboard layouts for your native language (finnish if im not mistaken)?

      In Germany there is the Neo Family: Neo{,2}, NeoQwert{y,z}, Bone, Mine, … as well as offsprings of that, but I guess you need your diacritics: å ä and ö. While Neo layouts have these diacritics available, they are made for german, so only ä ö and ü are easily accessible.

        Finnish indeed. I’m not aware of any alternative layouts. å is completely unnecessary for finnish, so maybe the layouts you mentioned could work.
