[OT] How do you configure your keyboard for programming?

[Pedro Kröger]

Sorry for the off-topic, but I'm curious about this. Since a few
people here speak languages other than English (french, German, Dutch,
Portuguese, etc) I was wandering how you configure your keyboard for
*programming*.

The use of dead keys is very comfortable to edit texts in languages
with accents (like french) but I find a little bit irritating to use
it while programming because I always have to hit a few more keys. For
instance, to type an expression in lisp that have a quote I have to
type <quote> <space> foo to get 'foo instead of <quote> foo. that's
even more annoying to type commands like C-c ` in emacs.

So, what do you do:

1. just use the keyboard with deadkeys, type the extra keys and not
care much

2. don't use deadkeys (but how do you write accents in your language?)

3. switch keyboard maps

4. do something else

Any ideas?
