That's the sort of reason that made me switch to US Qwerty a couple of years ago and as a programmer I should have done that from the very beginning instead of staying on Azerty BE. The shortcuts of most programs have been thought for Qwerty (thinking about you Vim). It made my developer's life much easier.
I am on macOS and I had to install Karabiner and goku (https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo https://github.com/yqrashawn/GokuRakuJoudo) to get the french accented letters. Now right-alt+e gives me é, right-shift-alt+e gives me è, etc.
BTW, I love Elixir.
- matrss 3y agoAre you aware of the "EurKEY" layout (https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu)? As a european, I think a US ansi keyboard with eurkey is the best option available, if you want to stick with something "standard". On linux it should even be available by default, although Gnome hides it behind some gsettings option. For macos there seems to be some installation involved: https://github.com/jonasdiemer/EurKEY-Mac https://github.com/jonasdiemer/EurKEY-Mac.
- lkuty 3y agoIt looks very interesting. Might give it a try even if I am now used to my key combinations to get the accented letters.
- az09mugen 3y agoA friend of mine switched on mac os recently and as a french dude had trouble making accents. Do you know you can keep the vowel pressed on the keyboard to have accent suggestions like on mobile ? And mac native of course. It changed his way of writing. Hope it helps you.
