United States-International Keyboard
Hi,
I just moved from Windows 10 to 11. In W10 I used the US-International keyboard to enter characters like “a umlaut”. It was easy to do by typing a ” character and then the character itself. To type the ” character you just had to wait a bit. I used the keyboard to type in Finnish language, which uses “a umlaut”, and “o umlaut” characters (lower and upper case).
W11 does not seem to have a US-International language or keyboard. There is a MS note about adding the keyboard to W11, but it just talks about various features you can use to change your chosen language, nothing is mentioned about keyboards.
In another note I learned that I can enter an “a umlaut” by entering ALT-132 (the numeric keyboard numbers), but that is pretty cumbersome. So I tried the MS PowerToys Keyboard Manager app to set up a Remap Shortcut. But it seems that I can not enter the ALT-132 code to be sent, the app can only do a plain text, with no ALT key pressed, or to do only one character while ALT key is pressed.
So without going to some third party app, is there a solution in W11 for my problem? My alternative is to find some third party app that allows the mapping I need, but I would prefer to stay within the MS world.
