You could just use US-International I mentioned in the OP.Costello said:I know what you're getting at, OP, but I type fast enough not to be annoyed by what you're saying.
And I never look at the keyboard not even for special characters.
Italian QWERTY here. I also know quite a lot of the US keyboard layout. I'd switch to that one, if it weren't for the accented letters which are required from my native tongueIssac said:Swedish qwerty here... and I have no trouble what so ever programming and using special characters at all.
And yes, I program on a daily basis.
I only have to move my right thumb a little bit to the right to hit Alt Gr, and then I'm good to go with the special characters
I programmed in the native Swedish layout for years and it's only recently, after working at a place where almost everyone used US and I saw it in effect, that I made the switch. For me it was definitely not a case of going from slow to fast or annoyed to not annoyed, I was happy with what I had and was typing fast (of course never looking at the keyboard for any character).
Switching to US is definitely not a must, but there really is a considerable difference in speed, especially compared to layouts such as the Swedish one. For instance, moving your thumb to Alt Gr is a lot slower than not moving your thumb to Alt Gr.

Because they're probably set to the US (or non-UK) keyboard, where they're reversed.ThePowerOutage said:The only problem I have with typing is that some OSs and programs switch " and @
It should be like this:
Shift + 2 = "
Shift + ' = @
But tons of programs stuff it up.
Awesome. I'll probably switch over to it, after I get a mechanical keyboard (if I ever decide which to buy)Mazor said:You could just use US-International I mentioned in the OP.raulpica said:Italian QWERTY here.

Switching keyboard layouts is also just an Alt+Shift away in Windows once you've selected which ones you want to use.
