I did not realize this was a thing until I just switched to AZERTY which… despite being marketed as being “similar” to QWERTY, is still tripping me up

Edit: since this came up twice: I’m switching since I’m relocating to the French-speaking part of the world & I just happened to want to learn the language/culture, so yeah

    I think this makes sense for people who type only in English. If you type in other languages, this becomes way less relevant.

    Not to mention the limitations in hardware.

      I type in English, Portuguese and Spanish (mainly in English because code, then Portuguese because I live in Brazil) and I use Dvorak. I don’t use accents or other special characters, but because I’m a “gringo” I get a pass.

      Yeah no definitely. This is a heatmap generated off of English words.

      However Germanic/latin languages may be similar
