Go generics may use square brackets [] not parenthesis ()

I agree, but this doesn’t has anything to do with the keyboard layout, except that if you need to switch layouts regularly, touch-typing doesn’t get easier.

The thread is about the accessibility of some brackets on German QWERTZ keyboard layouts. These curly brackets aren’t even printed on some external Apple keyboards. And if you try to type them with one hand, you would need to turn your wrist in some unnatural position. That’s the main reason why I use an US QWERTY keyboard for the last 15 years.

Umlaut vowels and ß are easy to input using the US international keyboard layout (with dead keys/AltGr combinations). I'm Italian, I study German and I find extremely convenient being able to easily input both àèéìòóù and äëöü without having to learn a second layout and switching.
