I've used a US-QWERTY keyboard layout my entire life. I've seen other layouts that do things like reduce the size of the enter/backspace keys, move the pipe operator (|) and can't wrap my head around how I would code on those.

What are your experiences? Are there any layouts that you prefer for coding over US English? Are there any symbols that you have a hard time reaching ($ for example)?

Fuck. AZERTY is a pain in the ass. Why is it that the French keep pushing that layout that should be gone by now? Look I write Latin-based languages as well and I would like to see some kind of international ISO query keyboard that could work for all of us.
