<tip type="keyboard remap for spanish coders" author="kasimir-k">
On a normal Spanish keyboard the characters [, ], { and } are the
rightmost keys on top and home rows, but accessed with the right alt
key. This is very painful one hand finger stretch if you write a lot of
code. Characters |, @ and # are on top of 1, 2 and 3, and accessed also
with the right alt, which means uncomfortable two hand combination.
Download a keyboard remapping tool [0][1], and swap your right alt and
caps lock (which is almost never used) keys: now you can type [, ], {,
and } with very comfortable two hand combination. |, @ and # are
managed with one hand, but without painful stretches.
