I've been interchangeably using a UK-ISO and a US-ANSI keyboard for some time now. The only physical differences are:
- Short Left Shift and extra 1x1 key right of it, in ISO
- Enter key being 2x1 in ANSI and a weird tall shape in ISO
I do prefer the ANSI enter key nowadays, but I use ISO because of availability in Europe. I could move to ANSI but my work laptop would still be ISO for example.
For keyboard layouts, I use 'Romanian - Programmers' (Which is US English + the extra Romanian diacritics are made with a key combo, AltGr + A = Ă, AltGr + S = Ș, etc). I had made the change as using the Romanian - Standard layout would've made crazy difficult to type special characters: []{};'\:"|,./<>?.
What I would like to see discussed is how a true successor to QUERTY would look like, one that's not dependent on physical typewriter arms not getting stuck together, possibly an ortholinear.
