I don’t know who invented the ISO keyboard layout but ruining the left shift key and the enter key are unforgivable crimes

And tilde next to z? Who likes this??

@sijmen It is. But iirc that extra key is usually for AltGr? Which Mac doesn’t really need because the option key does this for them for most things

@hazelweakly it usually is a second \| key (which also isn't very useful). AltGr is in stead of the right Alt key

@hazelweakly if you haven't yet by the way - you can swap the `~ and §± keys by changing the keyboard layout in the macos settings if you want.

it will of course make the keys do something different from what they say, but that's easy enough to get used to.

not sure if you can make the `~ button act as a shift too (so you can fatfinger it to your heart's content) but surely there's tools for that (though knowing the mac ecosystem it'll probably cost like €25)

@sijmen Karabiner is a popular Mac keyboard tool that lets you do all sorts of wild stuff. But yeah I’ll mess around with it when I can
