The Regional Keyboard Problem Anonymous 01/26/2025 (Sun) 17:37:38 No. 17107
Most computer languages were made with standard American keyboards in mind, especially in regards to symbol choices. This goes for standard keyboard shortcuts in software too. For example, with the french AZERTY layout, the backslash and special brackets require you to twist your right hand to write them and you need different hands for opening and closing them. My question to you non Americans is: how do you deal with it? Do you use and memorize the American layout while your keycaps still have the regional layout? Do you import your keyboard or reorder your keycaps? Do you switch between layouts for coding and messaging? Do you rebind certain characters to certain key combinations? Or do you just twist your wrist and live with it? I'm really curious to hear your perspectives on this.
If DEI programmers want non-English programming languages then they are welcome to invent some.

>>17108 Yup.
>>17107 This is basically what I do, free up some regional keys and make them programming related. A pal of mine made caps lock a modifier for {}[] instead. https://www.athoughtabroad.com/2014/01/07/programmer-friendly-german-keyboard-layout-on-gnu-linux You can also check out Neo's layout fuckery or BÉPO since you're a frog >>17108 Or you can not be a non-retard and adapt your tools.
>>17117 >Or you can not be a non-retard and adapt your tools. Not the same anon you replied to, but you may have to up your IQ to see the obvious. OP is not an innocent poster but instead another subversive injecting foreign matters in an English speaking board, all under the guise of being an irrelevant subject which nobody would pay much attention. To say it straight and without anesthesia, the point OP wants to convey is normalizing the presence of racial aliens among us.
>>17122 And why should I believe you're not a subversive yourself, pretending to be mad that other countries exist so you can poison the well on anti-woke sentiment? You do realize of the over 14 countries on the map >>17109 you(?) posted, only a single one and some towns in Belgium officially speaks English, right?
>>17117 Thanks. Did you change your \ to somewhere else too? Which place did you put it?
>>17140 They all use the Latin alphabet. It isn't that hard to press an extra button for an extra gay accent squiggle. OP is presenting this like some amazing hurdle when it's something nobody in their right mind actually gives a shit about.
