Only if you don't need anything else from your keyboard layout. I use Dvorak and need to type Japanese, and I think either of those makes it impossible to enter macrons on Windows.
- mkl 2y agoYou can have multiple keyboard layouts installed, and it takes a fraction of a second to switch with a shortcut key (on Windows it's Win-space). I have a Māori keyboard layout installed on my work computer, but I only switch into it to type words with macrons, then switch back (I use ` more often and don't like having to double-press it).
- lmm 2y agoSure, but even if I switched back and forth, the keys would be in the wrong place (because you can only have a qwerty layout with macrons, right?). Somehow the model is wrong compared to Linux where I can do compose to get a macron on any "underlying" layout.
