Same holds true for the German QWERTZ layout... the worst, for a programmer, is that {[]}\ are located on AltGr-7 thru -ß (which is right of the 0). These had always been a pain in the neck, but after I had to get used to a US-like layout for a few weeks I just couldn't go back anymore.
I agree totally. I always hated the german keyboard and would do anything (including mail order purchasing) to get a US or UK keyboard. UK is a little nicer as it has a convenient euro key, but they both are vastly superior for coding than the German keyboard is. With C like languages you end typing with your thumb almost permanently pressed on the alt-gr key... Yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
