Constant keyboard layout switching hampers your productivity. It certainly hampered mine. With this keyboard layout you can forget about keyboard switching and let your muscle memory handle it.
How it works: The basic layout is us so that all symbols are available and all keyboard shortcuts work as intended. When you hold AltGr with your right thumb the layout changes to czech (qwerty variant; there is as little rearrangement as possible). With use, you will learn to press the right Alt unconsciously.
Linux xkb keyboard layout for programmers who need to write Czech. It is based on US layout with czech characters accessible with AltGr. Euro sign is available under AltGr + Shift.
