        In one of my previous jobs, one day I was assigned an old project, dozens of C files. I typed furiously all day. All I did was move

        if (...){

        to

        if (...)
        {

              Some IDE leaves the "{" on the same line of "if" by default. I do not remember which one. Current visual studio certainly does not do that.

                To slow the typists down. Back when typewriters were manual, fast typists would jam the keys.

                Back when I designed VDT's, I had to do a special keyboard layout : A-J, K-S, T-Z. The Coal Board - if the keys were qwerty then the union wanted clerical pay for using them...

                  Interesting enough that people like the "wrong keyboard" but do not want a new design.

                  The Dvorak[^] keyboard has a layout designed to be faster and easier to use. I've heard of a few people using them but haven't tried one myself.

                    It does if you have it set to: Tools...Options...Text editor...C#...Formatting...Newlines

                        It might be hard to do due to the mismatch between the physical keyboard and Dvorak system.

                          Well, there is a layout designed for programmers with braces and operators on the number keys (numbers require a shift). Yes, you would need to buy a physical keyboard with the Dvorak layout, but after reading the page I think i'll look into getting one (a large portion of that last line was right handed and required several hurdles.) And apparently most operating systems today support the Dvorak layout. And I don't use the ctrl-X/C/V for cut copy and paste, I've always found using the ctrl-insert, shift-insert, and shift-delete more intuitive.

                            That just means you really have to learn to touch type. :cool:

                              A man who worked as a chef got fired for stealing kitchen utensils. He took too many whisks.

                              I suppose he took one whisk and then it just balooned! :)
