I'm using US English and Serbian (Latin) keyboard all the time. The difference is that US one has W,Q,X and Y, and the Serbian one has Š,Č,Ć,Đ and Ž. Except for Z and Y all other characters have the same position (QUERTY vs QUERTZ).
I'm also using Hungarian which is also Latin and has Ő,Ú,É,Á and Ű. The other keys are the same.
Since I have three quite similar layouts, I always have to be careful which one is currently active.
And I'm also using Serbian Cyrillic which is completely different alphabeth.
- bluerobotcat 12y agoInteresting. In Belgium we use a version of AZERTY that's optimized for Dutch and French. Naturally, it works great for English too. That is one reason why the notion of switching keyboard layouts when switching between languages with the same alphabet struck me as odd. Nowadays I use an Apple US-QWERTY keyboard. It can be annoying when I need to enter diacritics, but it's great for programming. I never switch between keyboard layouts.
- babuskov 12y agoTyping characters like [, ], /, \ with Serbian Latin keyboard requires using Alt or Shift key. I'm used to that (for about 2 years now), but many of my programmer friends still use US keyboard while programming and switch to Serbian layout for the other uses. If you switch between programming and something else often, it can become a PITA to switch the layout all the time.
