What is the language setting for your OS?

Belfaz commented 7 years ago

it is in english, i know that by setting the keyboard to swedish/other languages i can basically use other layouts with these symbols, but my intention was/is to be able to have them in another layer, so i can use them just when i need them.

Unfortunately there's not a cross platform way to output arbitrary characters. Most likely to work solution would be to have a macro that outputs the code (for Windows that would be Alt plus a sequence of keypad numbers). Unfortunately there is no macro support in the GUI configurator yet, but this has become more common so I may just bang out a "good not great" solution until I get more time to do something better. You could configure all other keys, get the resulting kll files and then manually compile.

We do have a few ideas in the works to make this easier, but nothing imminent.

okey Thank you good to know that the problem is not completely uncommon, it is not a deal breaker for me since i rarely need these symbols apart from when i am typing in those languages, so i can easily switch inputs, it is just that i felt that it would be cool to just use on input language and combine the characters in function layers since it is my firs keyboard with multiple layers. i will be keeping an eye out for updates on the GUI. thanks again for the awesome help !
