US, with the typical ANSI (long) return key.
The trick is to use right alt as compose key. This way I can write virtually any character (e.g. á, ß, §, ō...) in an intuitive way. E.g. ø = Compose / + o, æ = Compose a + e, etc.
I regret not using ANSI much sooner. I switched 10 years ago and I couldn't be happier. All symbols are in the right place, which helps a lot when programming.
- hannes0 4y agoThis sounds good. What system do you use? This is a custom keyboard setting then, right?
- nextos 4y agoLinux. Any Xorg will support this. I think support in Wayland is not complete.
- Pyrodogg 4y agoNot op, but I use this system which has instructions for installing to Linux, Windows, and macOS. [1] It's described as "QWERTY for Western European languages" and supports quite a few characters with simple AltGr (right alt) key combos. Alt+o = ö Alt+a = ä (American living in Europe, I haven't wanted to move from US QWERTY physical layout, but needed an extended character set in daily use) [1] https://altgr-weur.eu/ https://altgr-weur.eu/
