Same here. My native language is Spanish, and the localized terms always felt weird to me.
I also always use English keyboard layout, regardless of what is printed on the keys.
The only thing I change is date format, because US date format hurts my brain.
What about the 'ñ'?
I have a second keyboard layout configured, and I switch to it for the ‘ñ’ and the tildes when needed.
In Czech we have a 'prpgrammers' variant of they keyboard layout, that is in fact the US layout but types the diacritics if you type ctrl+alt+key. Spanish might have a coders variant too
Interesting! I’ll look into that, thanks!
I do use German key layout, as I'm used to that for decades.
And German number, currency, date, address formats, as the English are just whack
