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)?

      Well, after trying a US keyboard for coding I never went back to a french one. It’s so much easier…

        I have read somewhere that france and belgium have a minor code deficit compared to eurooeab countys that use qwerty.

        Looking it up its not hard to see why.
