Coding in Swedish keyboard mode in a Mac with (){}[] all on the same two keys with various vulcan neck pinching modifiers is definitely not one of my favourite things!
- Nullabillity 2y agoThat's an Apple thing, though.
- dcminter 2y agoOh, I'd assumed this was specific to Swedish Mac keyboards and not a more general Mac thing! How vile!
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 2y agoNot much better on standard Norwegian(non-apple) keyboards. ()[] are on the same two number keys and {} are on the keys surrounding those keys. []{} require alt gr while () require shift. Also $ is alt gr+5 which is revolting. Combined with / being at shift+7, typing in the shell is a terrible experience.
- dcminter 2y agoYeah, I have a Swedish layout Dell as well and it's better but not much. I'm confused now, though, as I took the parent as telling me that non-Swedish Macs also have the horrible symbol placement for the various braces. (rsynnott above clarifies that it's indeed Swedish-specific so it's just the Macs are a bit worse than the PCs). I'm fairly adept at switching between British PC keyboard, Swedish PC keyboard, and Swedish Mac keyboard nowadays, but the latter's significantly the worst (and don't get me started on how default IntelliJ key combos work with that)
- CRConrad 2y agoI think those are all the same on Swedish PC keyboards too, except $ -- yup, that was AltGr-4, not 5. And yeah, not lovely... Why have I put up with this for over 30 years?!?

- rsynnott 2y agoIt's def. not like that on their US or UK/IE keyboards.
- ErikBjare 2y agoI've sticked to US Intl + AltGr as modifier key to access åäö in the usual location for ~a decade now. Managed to get the same config working on both Linux and macOS.
