@AetherAurelia Perhaps a hobby?

@andjamwar this is abt my mac vs my work one

@AetherAurelia One is an American keyboard design one isn’t what’s the problem

@AetherAurelia I switch back and forth between a Japanese and US layout on a daily basis and I feel my fingers betray my brain all the time

@elvin_not_11 i swear it's making my first week go slower

@Folder_svg one of my macs has the UK layout, the other the US

@AetherAurelia left is better

@AetherAurelia I was skeptical when getting a new mac with the Euro keyboard (had the US version on my previous mac) but it has grown on me. It’s easier to hit enter. To me the biggest problem is the left shift being so small.

@AetherAurelia This is the crap we have to deal with in Canada. If you aren't careful you might end up with a laptop where the left shift key is cut in half and other nonsense.

@AetherAurelia Yes. Thankfully we have an extra key when using ANSI on an ISO keyboard. I remapped the \ to also be enter.

@AetherAurelia I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO I hate ISO and not because of the enter key

@AetherAurelia apparently, I’ve only used US keyboards because I didn’t even know this was a thing, but that looks horrifying to me

@AetherAurelia I just couldn't with an Enter key that small lol

@AetherAurelia haha, I knew this day would come. So I remapped my shift to return and return to shift.

@AetherAurelia the one on the left is a crime. How often you hit \ instead of enter?

@AetherAurelia think i like the one on the right

@AetherAurelia Bruh. I have that British keyboard. It's driving me insane. Not by choice :/

@AetherAurelia That small return key is gross.

@AetherAurelia Samsies… My built-in keyboard is US, my wireless one is UK/International… let’s just say that my typing includes a lot of backslashes here and there 🤣 Also I wish the US version had pictograms instead of the words delete, return, shift, etc.

@AetherAurelia What the fuck

@AetherAurelia The image on the left is making me mad and idek what this is about

@AetherAurelia Lol what? Apple bent the knee again?

@AetherAurelia and people don't understand it—I asked for an ANSI layout and they gave an ISO one

@AetherAurelia At least you have bracket keys.

@AetherAurelia Hate me, I have 2 of them😂

@AetherAurelia ISO enter shouldn't exist.

@AetherAurelia I’m a sane man.

@AetherAurelia diversity is lush

@AetherAurelia Laughs in Öäå

@AetherAurelia i always order my macbooks with US layout. I'm typing in at least 4 different languages but mostly english, so having the US layout is the most versatile option for me.

@AetherAurelia Same. ISO external keybord but US built-in Macbook layout. Every time I travel with only the laptop I want to die.
