Assuming a qwerty keyboard, this didn't happen

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 94 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

could have happened on a canadian french qwerty keyboard: ! is shift-1, and " is shift-2

collapsed inline mediaPicture of a canadian french QWERTY keyboard, centered on the 1 and 2 keys. The 1 key as the exclamation mark above the 1, and the 2 key has the quotation mark above the 2.

this could have happened on other layouts too, probably

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 41 points 3 days ago (1 children)

German qwertz is the same in that regard

Wait till you see AZERTY (French) They need to use ZQSD for gaming lmao

collapsed inline media

[–] RobotFK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A fate fitting for being fr*nch /s

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Im not french and we still use this piece of shit. Thanks belgium.

Also, us/international qwerty isnt that great either imo. Uk qwerty is better

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oh god what horror that layout is

you need shift to type numbers????

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers

[–] carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

no, I don’t think we need & more often than we need 1

and for accents, the canadian french qwerty keyboard handles them just fine; é (by far the most common accented letter) has its own key, all the other use dedicated dead keys. it works well!

and you can write accented uppercase letters using the CF qwerty, on azerty you need a combination with AltGr for that (because using just shift types the numbers…)

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh im not saying its perfect or any good, just saying what the logic was :p

I personally use both azerty and qwerty lol

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

It's great in mobas where skills are universally referred to by their default binding on qwerty (since most layouts have qwer on those keys). So sometimes unaware french people talk about their a and z skills and everyone else is just confused

[–] trash@leminal.space 3 points 2 days ago

As a Dvorak typist, I have done this.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago
[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 31 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It may have not been a typo in the sense they hit the wrong key attempting to type an exclamation point, but a Freudian slip of their mind while typing that caused them to type the quotation mark.

Like if you were to look at Venus and want to say "Venus is bright tonight" but instead say "My penis is pretty big." It's a really common mistake.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

On a German keyboard, I think ! Is Shift-1 and " is Shift-2, but we measure in cm so the message wouldnt make sense

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago
[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Exactly, noone is that big

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

It works out for Dvorak.

[–] sicarius@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

UK keyboards have the " and the @ symbols reversed from the US layout.
And we mix and match our units of measurement. So
milk = liters.
Beer = pints.
Distance = miles (if driving).
Distance = km if running or cycling.
Distance = inches if penis

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why make it easy when it could be complicated...

[–] heythatsprettygood@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

Just wait until you find out we use miles per gallon for fuel consumption but sell fuel with litres.

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 days ago

Depends on the layout. My QWERTZ has ! on shift-4 and " on shift-2.

Lots of bilingual peeps have multiple layouts on hot-swap.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Eh? On my keyboard " and ! are next to each other.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Shift-1 is ! Shift-2 is "

That's how it is on a standard British QWERTY keyboard.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I didn't know that the gb layout was different, so thanks for the knowledge, but kindly sod off with the smartass remark, thanks love

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

His remark was spot on. You are an arrogant USian assuming everyone around is using the same keyboard layout as you do.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Imagine not knowing literally everything about everything. And I'm the arrogant one? Lmfao.

blocked

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

And I'm the arrogant one?

Yes, I am glad I cleared it up for you.

Oh, BTW, you do know that typing word "blocked" doesn't actually do anything, don't you?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz -1 points 3 days ago

Assuming x

Literally the opposite of your shitty comment.

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think I disagree, " is right next to the enter key?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world -3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But why would you be hitting enter when you haven't hit ! yet? That would require you to skip !, to be typing at a high wpm but still be error prone, and for you to make three mistakes in a row and then for you to not immediately edit or delete and retype the message.

This takes low accuracy (so a typical hunt and peck user), high speed (so a usual touch typer), and a lack of technical knowledge, all rolled up with multiple failures. Nah, this didn't happen.

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

Man, I've written whole-ass wrong words in a brain slip before, let alone one character

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 3 days ago

You don't k"ow that!
