Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts? (upload.wikimedia.org)

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)?

I use the German Layout Neo which has especially nice layers for programming https://neo-layout.org/

You are the second person I got to meet in the wild using neo2.

The first one I met was myself 🤣 Although I have to admit it started out to just be different but I started loving it quite fast!

I have a custom split keyboard (lily58) and use the neo special character layer as my lower layer
