Re:Go generics may use square brackets [] not parenthesis () by alkonaut on Wednesday July 15, 2020 @04:38AM (#23842681)
I speak Swedish and code/message/email in English for work, but I still need to type Swedish occasionally so my keyboard is Swedish both in hardware (layout) and software (mapping).

Curly brackets etc use hand-twisting alt-gr combinations on a Swedish layout so I’d be better off using a US keyboard mapping so I can type ([{ using only shift. I have tried and failed to make that switch. It would probably just slow me down for a month or so before it made me faster, but I’ll keep pushing my square-wheeled cart thank you.

I have tried too and I gave up. It made my head hurt and you are not really getting the US layout anyway.

I created an Emacs minor mode to make the ö/ä keys type square/curly brackets, but it’s not ideal.
