Insert symbol Explanation: Since I learned to touchtype in English and thus constantly confuse the y and the z, I set my keyboard to "international". So I am not quite sure that I fully understand the problem you describe. However, I would assume that you are using Windows and Microsoft Word when, as you say, you are typing in German. For this scenario, another option would be to just go to Insert > Symbol and choose the symbol you want. You can also define your own shortcut keys for each of these symbols so that you don't have to go through the menu sequence each time you need the symbol. |

ALT+ Explanation: if you work in Word or in another WP program with WP functions. You just got to 'Insert' and then 'Symbol' and the click the '>' sign. Then you click on the 'Shortcut command' and in the left hand field you type ALT+TheKeyYouPrefer, e.g. 'RIGHT ARROW OR 'R'. If the command is already in use, ignore this (=that command will then be overwritten) or choose another combination. Working in sv,en,de,fr,es |
