3.3 Compound input
With many of the compound special characters it is possible to enter the diacritical
character first and then the letter. The diacritical character will not appear at first
and is then combined with the letter to form a special character.
Example
With a German keyboard layout, press for example the keys ´ (acute) and "a" one
after the other to obtain the character á (a-acute).
The keys with the diacritical characters, which are thus dealt with in a special way,
are marked with a special color in the descriptions of the keyboard layouts.
Keyboard assignments
The table below shows some keyboard layouts for the supported diacritical
characters:
