You definitely haven't use any of the nordic or the common nordic keyboards then. Its not the changing around that is the issue, its the absolute backwards positioning of key (heh) keys that is the problem.
- jltsiren 2y agoI used the Finnish layout almost exclusively for 20+ years, and I didn't find it particularly inconvenient. I needed äö at least as often as ()[]{}/|\$@, and no alternate layout was clearly better than the default. If there was a dedicated Finnish layout (instead of a shared Finnish/Swedish one), it could be a bit better by using the å key for something more common. But apart from that, I haven't seen any suggestions that would make the layout better.
- CRConrad 2y agoI find that some keyboard shortcuts, in programs that use "weird" keys like, say, Alt-semicolon or Ctrl-backslash, don't work with a Nordic keyboard. I've hypothesised it's because we need to use modifiers to get to those characters in the first place; maybe the programs read keyboard scan codes directly in stead of OS-mediated character codes (or vice versa), Idunno... You never run into that?
- theshrike79 2y agoYea, there are some programs that expect me to be able to press Ctrl-/ or something - but / is shift-7 so i'd actually have to press ctrl-shift-7, which in 99.9% of cases never works. It's easier to just remap the shitty hotkeys to something better.
