    I am using a Planck 40% mech keyboard I consider high-end (as in personal endgame) and my base layout is euro/iso, but I have a custom layer for programming related signs like the $-sign. This way I have a better experience than I would have with a US-layout.

    Programmers using mainly US-layout is a false assumption. I have only 2 out of 10 colleagues using it.

      oh wow. I have preonic, but I've more or less given up on learning to type with it. It's way too narrow. I like the concept but a split ortho would be better, as I wouldn't have to "hunch down" on it so much.

        I could only make the switch to my custom layout on the Planck, because the small size of the keyboard makes it possible to use it everywhere.

        I have 4 of them with identical layout. (: I cannot type on regular keyboards anymore. ^^

          Its pretty close, but ideally I'd want to have it fit fin/swe layout without using modifiers to type ö and ä, and have them more or less where they'd be on normie layout. (I can live without å, so that already gives 1 key more leeway).

          So far pretty much no ortho split allows this, I think. Unless I move enter key to the thumb keys or so. But then again that might be the default for eego/split keebs anyway, I dunno.

          Going to have to read up on these a bit more.
