Public bug reported:
I'm a software developer writing quite a lot of code.
The way the german keybooard is layed out, some essential keys like
brackets and backslash are very awkward to type (right hand holding Alt-
GR in bottom row and pressing the key right of the 0-key in top row to
get a backslash).
After years of doing this, i started to suffer from RSI (repetitive
strain injury).
I'm attaching a patch for an additional keyboard layout that puts all
those hard to reach one-handed brackets, braces and backslash on the
Umlaut keys. The Umlauts are still available in their normal place
through Alt-GR for occasional use, but i mostly use Scroll-Lock to
switch to an unmodified no-deadkeys layout when typing german text.
I have been using this layout now for 3 years, and it has greatly
reduced suffering, while still enabling me to do my job.
