I actually set my French keyboard to US qwerty to mitigate this type

ignore non US layouts (keyboard shortcuts are a common problem).
I still make mistakes from time to time, but I've mostly muscle
memorized the layout.
Also, typing programming symbols with non-US layouts can be a big
annoyance. So I do the same.

Hi,
slightly offtopic: If you want the real geek feeling look for
an IBM model M keyboard with US layout from around 1985-1987 in
good condition and typing become real fun ;)
These are real masterpieces of keyboards and last forever! ;)
Use the international layout for that keyboard and local
"special" charcters like üßöä in my case are no problem.
Only my two cents...your keyboard may ary... ;))
Best regards,
