Let me add to this that tilde "~" is hidden as Alt+"¨".

Anyway, any professional can get used to this quite easily.

I sometimes find myself having to use "US" keyboard layout on a 
Norwegian keyboard, sometimes an OS-X layout on a Windows 
keyboard. I just have to try 2-4 keystrokes the first time before 
I remember where they are hidden.

These things are stored in the "spine". E.g. I stopped playing 
trumpet over 30 years ago, but I could easily pick it up again at 
roughly the same level.

The retention is amazing whey you train "moves" regularly for a 
couple of years!
