Ask HN: What keyboard layout (for programming) are you using?

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
