Ask HN: Best keyboard layout for programming
I usually use nordic layout, but it seems like some of the special characters is more convenient on a US layout.
One of the big things I learned is symmetric C- and M- for Emacs.
I like the MS Natural Ergonomic 4000 because it is designed to sit in a person's lap. I can't describe how much better this is than VT100 knockoffs. And it's not absurdly priced [from a price anchoring perspective].
your fingers will thank you.
