    It's very frustrating to have only English characters on my work keyboard layout; at home I'm used to having an international layout where I can type accents easily.

      @tess When I retire I want to make a website where you can pick any Unicode character easily, and define your own collections.
      In my terminal I have alias ch='less ~/Dropbox/characters.txt', and the output starts with
      U+00B1 ± PLUS-MINUS SIGN
      U+00B2 ² SUPERSCRIPT TWO
      U+00B3 ³ SUPERSCRIPT THREE
      U+00B5 µ MICRO SIGN
      U+00B7 · MIDDLE DOT
      etc.
      The one I use most is
      U+2192 → RIGHTWARDS ARROW
      (because I'm lucky to have a Mac and an Italian keyboard which is also fine for French)

      @tess (BTW, the Dropbox folder is not automatically sync'd with Dropbox any more, since the company doesn't allow it. It's manually synced, and I manage to make it work...)

          @tess US international layout is the answer. Apostrophes become dead accents

          @oblomov @tess I support this option, it's how I deal with accents and ñ in Spanish while using US layout keyboards since more than 25 years ago.

            @oblomov I hated that keyboard so much I created my own version that doesn't use dead keys

              Il y a un an, j'ai commence' a` apprendre franc,ais. Je ne suis pas parfaite, mais je comprends la plupart de ce que je lis, et la moitie' de ce que j'e'coute.

              Apprendre une langue est un process lent et dur. Mais, j'ai fait beaucoup de processes pareils dans ma vie. Ils demandent simplement du temps et des efforts.

              Donc, je continue. Avec de la chance, dans l'anne'e prochaine, je pourrais atteindre un niveau suffisant pour obtenir PR au Canada.

              Souhaitez-moi bonne chance! 🤞🏻

                @tess was the issue the dead keys altogether or the fact that the primary function of the apostrophes was dead keys? IIRC there's a variant where '`"~ do their regular stuff but AltGr (right alt) + key does the dead accent.
