Unable to use umlaut key combos
#1
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 ;-)

Try if
AltGr + 2 + a gives you ä,
AltGr + 2 + o gives you ö,
and so on.

The only thing that I don't know is how to get a sharp s.
