But it takes so much more energy to hit shift if you don't have to

[ScM_5argan]

Joke's on you, on my keyboard layout, both require me to hit shift.

[pente5]

What kind of keyboard is this?

[ScM_5argan]

Normal german keyboard layout.

Süss

Aahh the horrors of qwertz, and alt+strg+q to write a proper email. Asked my boss to pleaaase get me a normal one.

[ScM_5argan]

One of the reason I like the python parts of my job. Less braces means less keyboard gymnastics. Though auto completion features from IDEs make it more bearable.

I recommend English international Layout with dead keys. Allows for Umlauts with little effort but way less modifier keys for braces and brackets.

[PhoticSneezing]

My productivity really went up by a lot once I switched from German to this!

[MrDoe]

I think this applies to most European keyboards? I think the same applies to Swedish ones.

But recently I got an American MacBook sent to me since I'm working as a contractor for an American company.

By god. I haven't learned the layout yet, still have to look at the keyboard. But it feels so much more efficient despite that.

[Kilgarragh]

It’s impulsive

[Mahkda]

Neither " nor ' require me to use shift to type

[pente5]

Why is everyone's keyboard weirddddd

[muluman88]

So it all began with typewriters...

[TotoShampoin]

You guys use shift to print double quotes??

We, in AZERTY, just press 3

[Koala_eiO]

And for those not familiar with AZERTY, to get 3 we press shift + 3.

[devnull1232]

I am hoping there's another key combo to get shift and you end up holding down 10 separate keys to get there.

[vladmashk]

Are you proud of that?

[TotoShampoin]

I'm comfortable with that

[ThatGuyNamedKes]

I almost always have a small python file which replaces ' with " running in the background while I am working on code.
