My current 'workaround' is to simply switch to an english keyboard
layout every time I use irb by pressing Shift-Alt. This seems odd, but
actually an english keyboard is better suited to program Ruby anyway
just because you get one-hit-access to {, [ and so on.
Oh yeah, the placement of {} and /,\,[] on any keyboard other than the
standard US english is a carpal syndrome nightmare.
When I switched from the english to the german keyboard I found it
immensely annoying (ever since I have worked on croatian, spanish and
worst of all swiss layouts).
I wonder, did the original idea for using [] in C was because it was
accessible on the english keyboard, and if it was made in germany would
we now write a< ....damn, there is no convenient combination anyway. I
guess central europeans should only invent natural languages
