- mostlylurks 3y agoDo the danes not have the mechanism that is found on Finnish keyboard layouts, where pressing AltGr+Ö yields Ø and AltGr+Ä yields Æ, except in reverse?
- Findecanor 3y agoThose mappings are not universal. They are present under Linux but not on MS-Windows. I don't know about Mac, but the layout has in the past been slightly different there from Windows also.
- mostlylurks 3y agoInteresting, it's been like a decade since I last used windows, but I had to go and check what layouts are available, since I remember having these combinations on my layout. Apparently those combinations are provided by windows in the "Finnish and Sami" layout, which provides a number of extra letters (not just ones used by the Sami languages) through AltGr+letter combinations. I must have selected that as my layout at some point while I was still using windows, possibly for the purpose of getting easier access to letters like ÆØÕ, and just forgotten it after some time.
- kzrdude 3y agoThey are there on mac too, use option-Ä to get the Æ or the other way around. What's more, it has worked like that since system 7.x times or so, it's just a good idea.
- riggsdk 3y agoFor me that doesn't work on Windows. Those key combinations doesn't seem to do anything.
- cardiffspaceman 3y agoI had to change settings on Windows to get access to a mode. I could then enable that mode to be able to readily type Spanish correctly. The mode uses the key combinations as described.
- Sardtok 3y agoBut do you really use ö much over ø?
- riggsdk 3y agoNo, but I do once in a while (very rarely) write a little in german that might use that character.
