@inaba thats also some sort of argument not to use a german layout :D
-
@2erXre5 grrr you got me :D
sadly i am looking far to often down on the keyboard and less on the screen :D -
@ShotgunSurgeon looks kinda interesting, but i think it would not be my preferred layout
-
@2erXre5: German layout is ISO, while US is ANSI. Well, you could use the British layout on a German keyboard.

@Benedikt: Personally, I dread it especially when working with LaTeX. The density of \, {, }, [, ] is so high that the extra strain on my fingers from typing AltGr+n all the time becomes noticeable.
-
@Pogromist: I actually miss that key when writing HTML. I probably don't do HTML often enough, though, because it still feels a little bit weird on a US keyboard.
-
"Programmer Dvorak" is the best, but you definitely need a keypad.
Apart from LaTeX, I never had any problems with QWERTZ. Even in Perl, where you tend to have a lot of {[]}, too.
But in LaTeX having to hit AltGr+7/8/9/0 interrupts typing a lot.
The next best thing, if you are a QWERTY user, is "Colemak Mod-DH", which can absolutely raise your WPM count. -
@Pogromist I already use the US layout since it's perfect for me, and because of that I don't have to use that extra shitty button next to the small shift key
-
@electrineer ISO with long left shift button is my dream layout
-
@PrivateGER try it out, once you get into it, its fantastic
-
@JimTheChameleon QWERTY or DVORAK?
-
@PrivateGER personally i just can speak for QWERTY , i've never used DVORAK.
If you also write normal test on your device QWERTY is also okay instead od QWERTZ -
@Yamakuzure yeah, but these letters are easier to remember when you change the layout
-
-
@Pogromist: So, EN-GB keyboard layout? On the German one that key actually does < and >.
-
@Tayo I still don't know if it really is better in case of the braces and such... Actually I would love a layout that is standard except for the special characters.
Like shift for number usage and placement like 5=( 6=) 4={ 7=} 3=[ 8=]
Don't know if it's understandable

I'm a developer in germany and of course, everyone in this company has a keyboard with the QWERTZ layout, which ( you all know ) sucks especially when using it do write code.
So i asked my boss, if i can get a keyboard in QWERTY layout, because of the given reasons.
He replied nicely: Yes, I will ask the hardware management.
5 minutes later i got a mail: Here is your harware order, you will get it soon.
It's not much, but that was fast and nice :)
Have a good day everybody.
