A better Qwerty layout for accents
Like many programmers whose main language is not English, I’ve been facing the keyboard dilemma for a while:
keep my native layout even though frequent programming characters like []{}|\ require 2 or 3 fingers, or adopt the standard US Qwerty layout?
In practice, I’ve chosen Qwerty because I write a lot in English anyway, and its advantages outweight the couple of defaults and inconsistencies it does have. The problem is, I’ve recently started learning Esperanto, which requires a dozen diacritics that are not reachable on the basic Qwerty.
So, I made a layout to fix that, plus a couple itches I had with the basic Qwerty layout.
