Be real - what percent of people are using azerty, even on HN?
- pierrec 8y agoShow HN: Space Invaders, but it doesn't work for French people
- Insanity 8y agoAt least the majority of France / Belgium. I switched to qwerty about 2 years ago, but almost everyone I know uses azerty here (as software engineers). Personally, I don't expect it to be supported though. But it should at least have a fallback like the arrow keys.
- pluma 8y agoAh, yes, the "fuck internationalisation, we're all living in America anyway" argument. EDIT: Data point of 1: I'm German and use a QWERTZ layout because it's a hassle to type umlauts on QWERTY even with a compose key. If I were French that'd mean I'd be using AZERTY.
- pierrec 8y agoThat's not the argument. They just seem to believe that it's a nerdy alternative layout like Dvorak ("...even on HN"). Not everyone is familiar with international layouts.
- pluma 8y agoI would think the kind of people interested in technical posts on HN should better be aware of at least the most basic i18n issues.
