Any keyboard used by a programmer should have direct one-key access to `[` and to all the 0-9 numbers... For every shortcut you can imagine you can find at least one keyboard layout out there where it's inconvenient. Just get over the crappy nationalized keyboard layouts and use US English keyboards like all programmers do! I can type French + English + Romanian just fine and comfy (would also work for Spanish + Italian fine, northern languages might be a bit of an issue...), with all the accents and special chars of each language, on a US-English layout keyboard that also has `[` and ``` (backtricks) and all the 0-9 numbers available one keystroke away. Mac keyboards work fine by default, the Windows ones might ned fiddling around with picking US vs US-Intenational and windows quote character settings until you get it right. Western European keyboard layouts (except British) are just plain broken imo, you can't need more than one key to type a damn `[` (array access), or force ppl to use Shift to type numbers, wtf. Otoh, typing Lisp code on a French keyboards is kinda' cool in a way :P
