no, I don’t think we need & more often than we need 1
and for accents, the canadian french qwerty keyboard handles them just fine; é (by far the most common accented letter) has its own key, all the other use dedicated dead keys. it works well!
and you can write accented uppercase letters using the CF qwerty, on azerty you need a combination with AltGr for that (because using just shift types the numbers…)
It’s great in mobas where skills are universally referred to by their default binding on qwerty (since most layouts have qwer on those keys). So sometimes unaware french people talk about their a and z skills and everyone else is just confused
It may have not been a typo in the sense they hit the wrong key attempting to type an exclamation point, but a Freudian slip of their mind while typing that caused them to type the quotation mark.
Like if you were to look at Venus and want to say “Venus is bright tonight” but instead say “My penis is pretty big.” It’s a really common mistake.
UK keyboards have the " and the @ symbols reversed from the US layout.
And we mix and match our units of measurement.
So
milk = liters.
Beer = pints.
Distance = miles (if driving).
Distance = km if running or cycling.
Distance = inches if penis
But why would you be hitting enter when you haven’t hit ! yet? That would require you to skip !, to be typing at a high wpm but still be error prone, and for you to make three mistakes in a row and then for you to not immediately edit or delete and retype the message.
This takes low accuracy (so a typical hunt and peck user), high speed (so a usual touch typer), and a lack of technical knowledge, all rolled up with multiple failures. Nah, this didn’t happen.
Assuming a qwerty keyboard, this didn’t happen
could have happened on a canadian french qwerty keyboard:
!is shift-1, and"is shift-2this could have happened on other layouts too, probably
German qwertz is the same in that regard
TIL QWERTZ
Wait till you see AZERTY (French) They need to use ZQSD for gaming lmao
A fate fitting for being fr*nch /s
Im not french and we still use this piece of shit. Thanks belgium.
Also, us/international qwerty isnt that great either imo. Uk qwerty is better
oh god what horror that layout is
you need shift to type numbers???
Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers
no, I don’t think we need

Oh im not saying its perfect or any good, just saying what the logic was :p
I personally use both azerty and qwerty lol

Also in Dvorak “ is below !
As a Dvorak typist, I have done this.
Cyrillic too

On a German keyboard, I think ! Is Shift-1 and " is Shift-2, but we measure in cm so the message wouldnt make sense
I chuckled :p
6cm?
Exactly, noone is that big
It works out for Dvorak.

Why make it easy when it could be complicated…
Just wait until you find out we use miles per gallon for fuel consumption but sell fuel with litres.
Depends on the layout. My QWERTZ has ! on shift-4 and " on shift-2.
Lots of bilingual peeps have multiple layouts on hot-swap.
Eh? On my keyboard " and ! are next to each other.
You don’t k"ow that!
I think I disagree, " is right next to the enter key?

Man, I’ve written whole-ass wrong words in a brain slip before, let alone one character
