    Could someone out there, please make a keyboard with (, ), {, and } as seprate keys? I spend more time with the shift key than with my wife. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

    Buy an italian keyboard, you've to use AltGr+Shift to type the curled braces, but in this way you'll excercise your thumb :) (many people here use alt+123 and alt+125, and that's even worse :)) -- Looking for a new screen-saver? Try FOYD: http://digilander.iol.it/FOYD

      Well, I should consider myself lucky then. I have a question that has been bothering me sice high school: Do programmers from other countries that use the standard c libraries and the like, in which the functions and variables, etc are in English have workarounds or interpreters that convert them into their language, or do they just have to "learn" English?

                    Hi Simons, Using any kind of chars larger than ASCII 0x80 can be a little confusing... Try to type ALT+128 on the num-block, this could work. Olli

                          I don't know about { and }, but the Amiga had stand alone ( and ) keys on the numeric keypad: pic here You could probably rig one up on a PC's serial port and use it as a keyboard if you wrote the necessary software :-D Or just find a keymap editor program, and swap some keys around. -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

                            Well, when I was first looking for a programming job in US I was asked a few times something like: "Sure, we understand that you have programmed in Russian, but can you program in English?". They were serious too... :wtf:
