After working more than 5 years with either an US or English keyboard, I find very difficult to get used to a Swiss keyboard. This is not the case for writing e-mails, but mostly for working. Unfortunately by being a consultant now I’ve often to work on clients terminals and their installed keyboard, not giving even the opportunity to hang around with a US keyboard for my pleasure.<\/p>\n
Why the US or English keyboard are better for computer scientists?<\/p>\n
– you have easy access to the brackets (), [], {}, which are always in two different keys and not hidden away with AltGr;
\n– you have easy access to <> in two different keys, not needing to make sure the shift is pressed or not.
\n– Also comma \u00b4 and ‘ are different keys;
\n– The slashes \/ are both in logical places
\n– The @ is accessible with a simple Shift key, like is the pipe |<\/p>\n
And you can also easily use the US-International keyboard to write in many languages, including the portuguese where you have \u00e3,\u00e0,\u00e9,\u00e7…<\/p>\n
I hope that soon will be easier to change keyboards on the OSes and also that a better universal standard (at least for roman alphabet based) appears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
