my biggest problem with keyboard layouts always was, that with a german QWERTZ layout it was pretty much impossible to use (){}[]<> efficiently.

i tried NEO and DVORAK but somehow the english layout worked best.i still need to type umlauts (äöü) and ß, so i made a custom layout.

you can find it on github: https://github.com/bmaeser/coDE (osx only, sorry)

MacOS should come with a layout that's the same as the AltGr-international on linux - normal QWERTY, but AltGr(right alt) is used to type "international" letters, i.e. RAlt+y = ü, RAlt+q = ä, RAlt+p = ö, RAlt+s = ß and more (using RAlt+vowel gives you the accented variant).
