I'm German, a software developer and I'm considering using Neo 2.0 as my future keyboard layout. Hearing that Neo is heaven when it comes to programming really wants me to begin working on it. And if anybody knows a way to get keycaps for my Filco blue (ISO layout) printed with Neo 2.0 symbols
- that would be perfect!
Here my little story why I'm considering Neo 2.0:
It is literally painful to enter some of the special characters (e.g. '[', ']', '{', '}') needed for programming on a default german keyboard. Although it is possible to enter those characters comfortably with the common english layouts out there, I still have to write german sometimes. Writing german umlauts (ö, ä, ü) for example becomes then rather annoying.
And I don't want to switch between english and german layouts all the time.
I also considered the Colemak and the Dvorak layout, but both miss an option to enter german characters comfortably. Aside from that I also like that Neo leaves the often used short cuts for copy, cut and paste unchanged ;-)
Please keep posting your experiences with Neo!
