@Paolo Redaelli Oh! That's a smart use of the caps vs shift distinction.

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' @Hypolite Petovan @Thomas

@Thomas It's ANSI because that's when you really need it. If you're on ISO the local layout is slightly annoying for programming, but ANSI+local makes programming impossible and that's when you start running multiple layouts and flipping between US and local.

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' @Hypolite Petovan

@Thomas Yeah EurKey is more aimed at northern Europe.

I just saw a video on one of the corporate networks, where the poster self-censored and referred to guns as pew-pew-no-nos and illicit drugs, or possibly specifically meth, as zippy-no-nos.

The pew pew is pretty clear, but what's zippy about drugs?

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' Is that EurKey you're referring to? It rocks!

@Hypolite Petovan @Thomas

@Elena ``of Valhalla'' Scandinavian layouts don't suffer from this. When there's an ö then shift gives you Ö. If AltGr+ö gives you ø then Shift+AltGr+ö gives you Ø.

I don't know what qualifier they would use to get œ on the same key, but that character as far as I know isn't used in Scandinavian languages nor in Finnish. Swedish Wikipedia says English and French use it.

Maybe œ is printed on the ö key because some other layout than sv/fi would put it there.

Ugh, I *really* need to do this administrative task now, can't wait for a slow moment to magically show up. Now what was the form to fill in and who should I mail ...

... oh, I did that last month, just that someone failed to respond. So I'll just poke them, that was quick.

I could have done this two weeks ago.

@Hypolite Petovan I haven't had a numpad in 20 years and I haven't missed it. 🙂

@Thomas

@Hypolite Petovan Oh! That's more exotic than I could have imagined.

I wonder if this means users of French keyboards love the numpad more than others do. I would expect so.

@Thomas

@Hypolite Petovan @Thomas I'm showing my ignorance here, but isn't putting an accent on E as easy or difficult as putting an accent on e, both on the keyboard and on the screen?

Do French keyboards have a special key for é that produces something unrelated if you press shift?
