Renaming files with mv without typing the name two times

Full agreement from me. My ergonomics and efficiency both improved immensely when I switched from my native layout to US International.

With US International, unless I want to hit the key combo to change layouts, I can still write a single or just a few umlauts (say, for a person's name).

I find it easier to keep my focus when I don't have to make the right wrist twister that is otherwise required for { if using a Swedish layout.

Also try setting caps as compose key and using the standard ANSI layout. Solves the problem of always having to double press characters such as quotes.
