I get used to it pretty fast. My keyboard at work in QWERTZ and my keyboard at home is QWERTY. For me, it's a mind thing.

  I use QUERTY and UK/US keyboard layout, and the just memorised the Option key combos for the åäö etc. was less hassle for me.

    Under linux I do the same, but under windows I have to constantly switch the layout to german, type ä, ö, ü or ß and switch back to english. That's not the problem though; the annoying thing is when a PC is configured to only have the German layout available, so I constantly mix up Z and Y

      Or you could memorise the ascii codes and type e.g. alt+[keypad] 0248 => ø. Edit: Is that what GP Bjelkeman meant by "option key combos"?

        On macos you can press <Option-u> followed by a vowel and you will get the corresponding Umlaut. (üäö) Additionally there are other combinations for accents and stuff like that.

      This situation got me. Maybe I was rather tired when I did this. It was when one of the letters in my bank's password is a Z but I keep hitting the Y key. After 3 attempts, I got locked out and had to wait until the Monday to contact the bank!
