Since curly braces are a pain for me to write (on my keyboard), I strongly embrace languages who don't make them part of the important syntax.

  Wouldn't it be better to buy a new keyboard and expand the range of languages you can type in comfortably?

    I'm going to hazard a guess that the problem is not the physical keyboard, but rather the OP's use of a non-US keyboard layout. My native portuguese keyboard layout uses AltGr-8 and AltGr-9 for square brackets, and 7/0 for curly braces, and it's incredibly uncomfortable. I eventually changed to using the US International layout (with dead keys) to make it less awkward to write code, to the detriment of writing in portuguese.

      > I'm going to hazard a guess that the problem is not the physical keyboard, but rather the OP's use of a non-US keyboard layout. You're exactly right.

        You could try to map '{' and '}' to some more convenient keys and still keep using your non-standard layout if it works well for other things.

          It's not a "non-standard" layout, it's a non-US layout.
