Unable to use umlaut key combos - ili - 10-01-2024
Hi guys,
the pinebook pro wiki says in the keyboard section it should be possible to type German umlauts by using key combos.
--------------
Ä, Ö, Ü, ä, ö, ü
[AltGr]+'[' followed by [A], [O], [U], [a], [o] or [u
--------------
I think i tried everything but i can't get it working.
I used Manjaro ARM Flasher and installed
pbpro kde-plasma 23.02
Is there anything else i need to do?
I left all settings unchanged
Hardware is set to Gerneric 104-key PC
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

What keyboard layout do you have selected in settings?

There was nothing selected.
I first tried English (US), which did not help.
Then tried English Western European AltGr dead key, better.
But I now get the big Ö when expecting the lower case ö.
Gone try some other layouts before editing one.
After reading the wiki i expected this to be a hardware function to work out of the box … silly me ;-)

If the layout supports umlauts, use these key combinations: `AltGr` + `[` → Then type `A`, `O`, `U`, `a`, `o`, or `u` to get **Ä, Ö, Ü, ä, ö, ü**.
