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 use Spanish QWERTY layout and it’s… weird for coding.

    I’m used to it from my whole life so that’s what I use but sometimes brackets or special symbols are weird.

    I’ve always wanted to change to use US-International layout. So I can keep ñ and áéíóú, and also have easy access to coding symbols. But I have never got around it.

    Anyhow I still think that whoever designed ISO layouts messed up. We should use US international layout. That’s my two cents.
