Programming with GTK+ is annoying and physically painful because of the sheer amount of reaching out for the "_" key. For anyone with actual GTK+ experience, have you found a work around for this?. The platform is linux based.

A: 

Copy the character and CTRL-V it instead of typing it manually. : )

Use an editor with code completion support. Eclipse, Vim, and Emacs can all do this.

I have tried many editors, but usually resort to Vim in the end. Ill look into the auto complete and the key bindings - thanks - this place is way more friendly than the gtk+ irc

A bit of an overkill, don't you think?

Anyone who experiences physical pain should be considering drastic measures. Notice that he didn't say, it's *annoying* or I can't type it *accurately*, but used the word *pain*.

Either use autocompletion, or reassign your underscore key to another, more reachable one.
