Here is a set of questions for European-Time-Zone mastodontists especially.

- Does your keyboard have a $ on it?
- If not, is there a different currency symbol you have instead?
- When a programming language makes semiregular use of $ (for example, for string substitution) does this annoy you?

@mcc both UK and DE keyboards have $ on Shift-4

@zhenech @mcc

IT too

with our local keyboard, []{} are a much bigger pain to type (one of the reason why a lot of programmers in Italy use keyboards with US layout)

@oblomov @zhenech @mcc Does that put {} on 4th layer (AltGr+Shift)? That's worse than Slovenian.

It's THE WORST. Any C-family language is basically a guaranteed RSI, not to speak of TeX and LaTeX.

@oblomov @zhenech @mcc That's when you (if you're on Windows) fire up KLC and place the characters on more accessible combinations :)
