Sure, I’m familiar with the weird UK layout.

  It is the US layout that stands out. The UK layout follows ISO 9995, which most other countries also follow.

    And I thank god every day we don't. The ISO keyboard is awful. Left shift is too important of a key to be 1u. I don't need a massive enter key that lives on two rows. Just insane choices.

      The big enter key I do like. But I’ve ended up using a split keyboard where every key is 1u. All language layouts map to the physical layout in basically the same way.

  UK is fine. Mac UK is shit.
  • dontlaugh 10mo ago
    It’s certainly a matter of opinion. I dislike the UK layout, except on macs where it’s just about ok.

      They hide # behind additional key combination, and expose §. It's awful.
      • dontlaugh 10mo ago
        # is in its proper place, if you grew up programming on a US-derived keyboard. Some of the other changes aren’t great, I agree.
        • happymellon 10mo ago
          No its not. Shift+3 does not give you #.
