I guess it can be used also in other ways, especially when you hit a wall.
E.g. my Italian windows key map does not have tilde nor backtick available, and it's just a pain to type the usual alt 126 thing on a modern laptop keyboard, where even the HOME key requires some Fn shenigan. Dell and MS, wow!
- rubenbe 2y agoThis would be extremely useful, since phones typically add the correct accents automatically. But on my laptop I need to do this myself (using a deadkeys layout).
- LtWorf 2y agoUsing linux solves the issue though alt+ì = ~ there's also ÈÉÒÀÌÙ and a bunch of foreign letters like ßøþñħŋđðŧ
- DuncanCoffee 2y agoI keep a second layout, the "US, alt. intl." (US international alternative?)even on computers without US keyboards, then use a hotkey such as win + space to swap between them and "\" becomes the backtick. Not only it's easy to write "~" but it's also easier to write upper case accented letters since it's just backtick + shift + vowel
- makeitdouble 2y agoIf you haven't tried yet, PowerToys' keyboard manager allows shortcuts for single character outputs. That's what I do for accented characters (e.g. Alt+Shift+C -> ç) and currency characters, it works pretty decently (found it more reliable than AutoHotKey for instance)
