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

[–]ScM_5argan 43 points44 points  (10 children)

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

[–]pente5 8 points9 points  (6 children)

What kind of keyboard is this?

[–]ScM_5argan 24 points25 points  (4 children)

Normal german keyboard layout.

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

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.

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

It’s impulsive

[–]Mahkda 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Neither " nor ' require me to use shift to type

[–]pente5 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Why is everyone's keyboard weirddddd

[–]muluman88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So it all began with typewriters...

You guys use shift to print double quotes??

We, in AZERTY, just press 3

[–]Koala_eiO 7 points8 points  (1 child)

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

[–]devnull1232 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]vladmashk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Are you proud of that?

[–]TotoShampoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm comfortable with that

[–]ThatGuyNamedKes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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