What's wrong with just a US layout?

Oh man, shame they only offer their keyboard layout as US.

It makes me sad when cool things like this don't support keyboard layouts other than QWERTY

Wait, how does the national keyboard layout matter? Aren't you using the US layout when writing code?

Thanks for feedback, did not aware of different type of keyboard layouts!

Not all keyboards are laid out the same.

You can switch the layout in the keyboard setting. Most languages have a qwerty variant.

The keyboard layout is an issue.

Does not support other keyboard layouts than US I think. Good idea though.
