What I meant was, is it not possible to dedicate some keys to type { } *and* 
allow typing german/danish text?  Is there not a way to have both?  That's 
all I was saying.  I only ever use curly braces in code,  I almost never use 
it while typing English text.  Yet there those keys are ;)  It probably was 
more of a process where those symbols were chosen *because* the keys were 
easy to find, but still, a "programmer's" german keyboard seems like a 
distinct possibility.
