- jacobolus 6y agoI use a Japanese keyboard that pretends to be a US-ANSI on my laptop. The extra keys and narrow spacebar are super handy. Something like http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/9150730dbd4d2824ec3cca5b62925f38 http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/9150730dbd4d28...
- SwiftyBug 6y agoSame. When I have to use someone else's computer without an US_en keyboard I look like an elder learning to type.
- Semaphor 6y agoI use EurKey [0] (I think this was actually recommended to me on HN) so I have easy "AltGr" access to German characters like öüß. Sadly some tools (most notably Microsoft’s) have hardcoded shortcuts for some of those, which is really annoying. [0]: https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/ https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/
- trinix912 6y agoI use the Canadian English layout on macOS for most of the time, if I need to enter accented letters, I can just hold down a normal letter (A) then select an accented one from the popup (Å). The international English layout works the same way if I remember correctly.
