siksik2447yThat's why I learned to always change my keyboard to us/gb. My language has accentuated letters, but I'd rather have consistent keyboards.

Root797707yOne of the idiots I've had the displeasure of working with -- more particularly, his horrific infrastructure mess after he was fired for stealing money, among other things. He had servers provisioned on lots of different services in different countries, and he was the only person who knew how anything worked, where the servers were, what they did, how many there were, how to deploy code, etc. His setup was the stuff of nightmares, and cost the company in excess of $20k a month. Anyway, I had to find the servers, figure out how to log onto them without any credentials, figure out what they were for, re-do their security to lock him out, and migrate their functions / wipe and de-provision them. I ended up saving the company 80%+ per month. lol didn't even get a raise.
Point is, some of those servers weren't configured with US keyboard layouts, so learning to type on them was tedious. Never did figure out how to exit vim with a German keyboard layout. (Thanks @Awlex!) -
Awlex177457y@mrtnrdl On a american layout it's like this:
@: ALT GR + q // Hope i didn't notify somebody
/: SHIFT + 7
\: ALT GR + - // Gotta love that one
In rants we unite, in typing, we divide -
People are complaining about how to exit vi/vim.
