Imagine for example that you usually use German but also type French, and Spanish from time to time. Switching between German, French and Spanish keyboard layouts will be very inefficient, the
That's why we have Swiss German keyboards with èéàç with shift+üöä4. For the big umlauts and other accents, we need dead keys (or "Compose" on Sun), but that does not matter, because they are relatively seldom.
In my opinion, one can type much faster if one stays with one keyboard layout and learn to use that really efficiently. But then one has to use input methods for everything not available on that keyboard layout of course.
Yes, that's a point of view. My problem is, that most key layouts expect z where y resides and vice versa. Regards Marc
