Stuff like this is the reason why I, as a non-american software engineer, use `US_en` layouts on all my machines.

I use EurKey [0] (I think this was actually recommended to me on HN) so I have easy "AltGr" access to German characters like öüß. Sadly some tools (most notably Microsoft’s) have hardcoded shortcuts for some of those, which is really annoying.

I use a Japanese keyboard that pretends to be a US-ANSI on my laptop. The extra keys and narrow spacebar are super handy.

I use the Canadian English layout on macOS for most of the time, if I need to enter accented letters, I can just hold down a normal letter (A) then select an accented one from the popup (Å). The international English layout works the same way if I remember correctly.

Same. When I have to use someone else's computer without an US_en keyboard I look like an elder learning to type.
