That keyboard layout (<URL: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co
mmons/3/35/KB_Finnish_Multilingual.svg>) is a crime against ergonomics.
I wonder who you can sue for your carpal tunnel disability when you
produce
{ [ ] } \
by pressing a key on the number row with a right-hand finger *while*
simultaneously holding down the AltGr key with the right thumb.
And then the dollar sign has had to give way to
ยค
(<URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_%28typography%29>). I have
never seen any use for that symbol anywhere.
