Interesting that you use your native keyboard for programming. I'm Czech, all the Czech programmers I know use English layout for programming.

Here in Norway I have never once seen a non-Scandinavian layout keyboard. Not once. As I'm from the UK I have considered getting a UK or US keyboard for coding at home, but at work it isn't an option, mostly because we all have standard equipment and because ø,æ & å.
The actual keyboard language is irrelevant since the layout is defined in software. You can just change the layout to US or UK and learn to touch type it. The US layout is lot nicer if you write a lot of code in my opinion.

You can also set up multiple layouts and switch via OS shortcut when needed.
