I've gotten so used to the Spanish ISO layout that I don't really need it on the actual physical keyboard, I think it is a very practical layout for programming.
Specially considering all the braces:
[] is done by Alt Gr and the two (consecutive) keys that come after the "p"
{} is done by Alt Gr and the two (consecutive) keys that come after the "l"
() is done by shift 8, 9
\|@#~ Are all done with Alt Gr and the º key, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Maybe it's just being used to it, but I find it extremely practical.
- zokier 11y agoConsidering that how awkward AltGr is to reach, I find it difficult to understand why that layout would be very practical (for programming), considering that all of those punctuation characters are available either directly or with shift on US layout.
- Trufa 11y agoYou reach it with your right thumb, the same way you reach for space only a little bit more to the right. You're then in a conformable position for reaching out to this keys I mention.
- dagw 11y agoFunny. Despite being in Sweden I always try to get US keyboards just to avoid the whole AltGr thing for braces.
- cpach 11y agoHow do you write åäö? :)
- dagw 11y agoEither alt+134 etc on the numpad (windows), holding down the a or o key (OS X) or by temporarily changing to Swedish keyboard layout, depending on the situation.
- Symbiote 11y agoIf you get a UK layout, you at least retain the extra key left of Z and a correctly shaped Enter. (Since English doesn't need any accented letters, and the only extra symbol needed is £, the brackets are accessed without modifier for [] and with shift for (), {}. The only symbol requiring AltGr is €.)
