In English or US keyboards keys like \ , / , [ and ]

  • 0

In English or US keyboards keys like \, /, [ and ] are very easily typed with only one key stroke. Usually is not the same for non-english keyboards.

Is there a way to achieve the same easiness of typing for these type of keyboards?
If it is a matter of mapping keys can you please put clear instructions to do it? (Spanish layout example is welcome)

EDIT: Examples by distinct languages are very welcome!

    I’ve suggested something already in the comments. Now, as far as simple mappings go, for normal mode you can always do the simple remapping of main keys.

    nnoremap : >>
    nnoremap ; >>
    

    for example, for indent (I’m on Croatian keyboard layout here … where the < and > characters are, I have ; and : … I’m sure you understand the example). You can analogly remap all your local characters with parenthesis, brackets or any other essential characters.
