    From my experience, you can just get to where you want to get faster with them. The globe key is also pretty nice if you switch languages a lot like I do. (Yes, I know you can do this with 2 key presses on windows but being able to do it in one is nice.)

      Is there a globe key on Mac? I must have missed that one. I can see that being useful if you type in languages which use different alphabets but not otherwise.

      Even if doing a shortcut is barely any slower.

        Yeah, it’s the bottom left key. You can assign it to do all sorts of stuff (I think it’s emoji by default for US models). I use it to switch between Japanese and English keyboard.

          Ah, alright I have an fn key there instead. Which I actually prefer because sacrificing prime real estate for a language key seems like a waste.
