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’m used to the ISO layout, so whenever I type on an ANSI keyboard I miss the enter key and hit the one above. It’s annoyingly hard to find laptops with ISO keyboards.

      Yeah I forgot that they do this weird ANSI/ISO mix for laptops.
