    I have a shortcut to switch keyboard layouts, and I switch layouts to find “weird symbols” all the time… I am almost unable to type on any other computer

      I learned Autocad 14 on my own machine across a couple of months. Customized my input tablet and keyboard shortcuts to make my common tasks easier.

      Then I went to a machine shop to have my widgets built, and tried to use their Autocad - and I was completely helpless, asking “how do you … ?” for the most common tasks. I never bothered to customize key-shortcuts again, I don’t work alone on a single machine enough to make it worthwhile.

        Why not just keep a small keyboard with you that remembers your short cuts and macros?

        It should be plug and play on mobile devices too if friends want you to type something there

          I actually would love a portable version of that, as long as it unpacked to a 70% keyboard. Anything smaller would drive me crazy
