They're the same on a US English/US International keyboard, both 4 presses: For @@: Shift 2 Shift 2 For @[]: Shift 2 [ ] In the case of @[], an IDE likely will automatically add the closing ]. Additionally, on a US English/US International keybaord, Shift-2 (for @) is an awkward combination to type with the pinky and middle finger of your left hand. On a UK English, it's the same amount, with the @ a little easier than on a US English one, with: left-shift @/' [ ] So if you want to add typeability to the matrix, I can do that, but @@ comes out worse. cheers, Derick -- PHP 7.4 Release Manager Host of PHP Internals News: https://phpinternals.news Like Xdebug?
