Not seeing the Romanian letters ș, ț, ă, â, î anywhere on the keyboard. Romania is in Europe, too. (â and î are even needed in French, what am I missing here?)

I'm sure there must be many other letters missing. Not to mention Bulgaria and Greece.
No qualms with the layout, it's probably impossible to cram all European letters and common programming symbols on only ~four layers -- it's just the name that's somewhat provocative.

- keiferski 3y agoThe obvious solution would be to have all variants of a "base" character like a or e be accessible via the same key + shift/TAB/option, etc. So s would include ś, ș, etc. Obviously this doesn't line up exactly with how the letters are used in their respective languages, but it's a visually-optimized solution.
- nerdbert 3y agoThere are too many combinations though. à á â ã ā ă ȧ ä ả å ǎ ȁ ȃ ą ạ ḁ ẚ ầ ấ ẫ ẩ ằ ắ ẵ ẳ ǡ ǟ ǻ ậ ặ You'd need to hold down combinations of 5 different modifier keys, and shift can't be one of them because that's used to capitalize all this. Nobody's going to do that.
