Changes

  • +> [HINT]
  • +> A better idea is to use the [EurKEY](https://eurkey.steffen.bruentjen.eu/) layout. It maps the Umlauts to `AltGr` + `a,u,o`. Activate it in GNOME-Tweaks -> Keyboard -> Show Extended Input Sources.
  • +
  • If your US-ANSI keyboard supports [VIA](https://usevia.app/) you can use it to create macros for the German Umlauts. All Keychron models should support this by now.
  • ## Requirement
  • - Set the compose key of your desktop environment. I use `Caps Lock` for that.
  • - The momentary layer key like `MO(3)` is bound to `fn`
  • ## Default behavior
  • ```
  • # Type ö
  • Caps Lock, Shift-', o
  • # Type Ö
  • Caps Lock, Shift-', Shift-o
  • ```
  • ## Custom behavior
  • ```
  • # Type ö
  • fn-o
  • # Type Ö
  • fn-Shift-o
  • ```
  • ## Macros
  • ```
  • # Type ä/Ä
  • {KC_CAPS}{KC_RSFT,KC_QUOT}a
  • # Type ö/Ö
  • {KC_CAPS}{KC_RSFT,KC_QUOT}o
  • # Type ü/Ü
  • {KC_CAPS}{KC_RSFT,KC_QUOT}u
  • # Type ß
  • {KC_CAPS}ss
  • # Bonus: Type €
  • {KC_CAPS}e=
  • ```
  • ## Setup
  • 1. Create macros
  • 1. Bind them on the non-umlaut key (Example: `A`) of the secondary layer
