key 8 has currently characters ( and [ key 9 has currently characters ) and ] so, if you think of < and > as they are used in xml tags they have a similar opening (<) and closing (>) association.
with | and ¦ it would be a good to choose a key that has something similar in it. Key 1 is too far away to be reached conveniently. We also need two combinations as they are two different characters. so let's use l and i. One may wonder why I chose l for ¦ and i for |. Indeed l looks more like | and i looks more ¦. And that is my reason. You want to be able to tell the characters apart. l and | look too much in common. It can cause errors. Also | is needed more often and you'd normally press i with a stronger finger than l. -- unable to type <, > and | while using Finnish layout on a 101-key keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181595 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
