@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...

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

Tayo8985y@CyclingMatt probably, but I don't tell anyone until they start typing on my keyboard
Their faces beat me every time -
@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

hjk10157505yI'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.

s-aargh825yUgh. 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.
