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)?

    Aren’t brackets hard to type in Swiss layout? Most of my Swiss coworkers switch to US.

      Maybe in comparison to the US layout? I’m not having any trouble with them.

      If you mean the [] (and {}), they just use the right alt key, which is close enough to them.
