Unable to use umlaut key combos

[ili]

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?

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**.
