Typing is part of our everyday lives. Coding involves text, and if you're not using MSPaintIDE, you probably use a keyboard to enter text. And if the code gets longer, you might see your fingers strained. A few months ago, I someway heard of the Neo layout, which is designed to ease typing in both German and English, and also has more layers containing a lot of exotic symbols such as ⊥ (orthogonal to), ⊂ (subset of), ♀♂⚥ (the gender symbols), and the normal and zero width non-breaking spaces. Every one of the six layers also has three deadkeys, and there is a Compose system (on Windows and Linux), allowing you to set basically every Latin-based character.

It is, however, quite different from QWERTY (or QWERTZ, a version of QWERTY enshittyfied for German typewriters), so it requires a bit of learning, and my method, which I can definitely recommend: Go to a coding camp or hackathon, and write your code with that new layout.

Setting it up on different systems required a varying amount of effort, ranging from Windows (installing a keyboard driver and copying an EXE to `shell:startup`) to iPad (looking up every single character to create a custom layout in a paid app).
