Hi HackerNews,
I'm currently using a german laptop keyboard and I've been playing with the idea of replacing it with a UK/US keyboard.
I've asked some friends about this I got mixed answers:
- Buy a german keyboard and use stickers (more keys)
- Buy a UK keyboard (bigger enter key)
- Buy a US keyboard (better key arrangement)
In all three cases I'd have to relearn/retrain my muscle memory, but I think it might be worth to know another layout if I get a job abroad?
I'd like to ask HN:
- Have you switched keyboard layouts before and which one are you using right now?
- Is it worth learning a new keyboard layout?
- Anything else to consider?
Thanks!
EDIT: Tried to fix the lists
