As a computational biologist from Europe working in the US, I often have to switch between qwerty and qwertz keyboards. I can't highlight enough how hard it is to type the word "homozygosity". 🥺

shitft+ctrl

@jespersh
Colemak and dvorak got you covered 👍

@jespersh I use what I get easily in my home-country 😉 also, communicating in 4 different languages makes it hard to move away from my habits...

Dvorak mate, that's the best out there

@Tayo @SortOfTested are dvorak users the equivalent of vegans in the typing world? 😂

German?

@yellow-dog Swiss 👌🏻

@CyclingMatt probably, but I don't tell anyone until they start typing on my keyboard

Their faces beat me every time

@Tayo mmmmhhh is the learning curve steep?

@CyclingMatt took me about two months to get up to speed, cold turkey

@Tayo good to know thanks! I will probably not switch anytime soon, but it could be something to try at some point!

I’m used to the Swiss one and US, have a German one on my personal laptop and the Irish one at work..

It’s a pain.

Swiss, German and French keyboard mappings are all horrible. French is probably the worst of all: you need to press shift in order to get the numbers 0-9!!, WTF

I'm European yet qwerty and specifically us international here...

And Dvorak when it really matters it's close to the utf-8 of keyboard layouts.

@embeddedmaikel when you extend Latin to the character count of simplified kanji using 6 different diacritics.

Ugh. It was so difficult when I had Greek coworkers who brought their native keyboards. Not easy in pair programming! Also Portuguese brought their keyboards. Always those symbols all over the place xD
As I dutchy I even removed the Dutch language from the settings to avoid sudden hick-ups.
