I moved from a German keyboard on a Mac to a US keyboard four years ago. And it definitely helped me to be able to touch type when programming.

I installed the USGerman Keyboard Layout [1] in macOS and have been using it ever since. It puts the umlauts at `alt + a|o|u|s` making it easy enough to type German texts as well.

This looks like a good option. Thanks!

Would be awesome to be on the Beta. We're currently migrating a lot of Atlassian related stuff to Docker.
