Every major programming language uses english keyboard. I'm a starter amateur coder but first thing I did was learn the en-us keyboard layout. There are options to use Alt-Gr accented letters for spanish which I use but also for combining letters which should work for finnish/swedish.
- ptaipale 10y agoProgramming languages don't use keyboards; they use some sets of characters, typically a subset of ASCII. Keyboards then can produce those characters. And yes, typing [\]{|} and so on is inconvenient on my keyboard. I particularly detest the choice of \ over / in MSDOS and Windows path names. I occasionally use US keyboard layout just to get around these difficulties, but whenever I arrive at some random computer, it will have the local layout. (This is particularly confusing when going to France or Germany with they AZERTY and QWERTZ keyboards.)
