From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As far as I know there are these;

  • Camel case = coolFileName
  • Snake case = cool_file_name
  • Kebab case = cool-file-name
  • Pascal case = CoolFileName
  • Dot notation = cool.file.name
  • Flat case = coolfilename
  • Screaming case = COOLFILENAME

Personally I prefer the kebab/dot conventions simply because they allow for easy "navigation" with (ctrl+arrow keys) between each part. What are your preferences when it comes to this? Did I miss any schemes?

Typing \ in those cases instead of _ is super annoying.

In my keyboard layout backspace is behind altgr.

the standard keyboard layouts (qwerty, qwertz, etc.) are mostly trash

are there any good alternative keyboard layouts for your native language (finnish if im not mistaken)?

In Germany there is the Neo Family: Neo{,2}, NeoQwert{y,z}, Bone, Mine, ... as well as offsprings of that, but I guess you need your diacritics: å ä and ö. While Neo layouts have these diacritics available, they are made for german, so only ä ö and ü are easily accessible.

Finnish indeed. I'm not aware of any alternative layouts. å is completely unnecessary for finnish, so maybe the layouts you mentioned could work.
