Special keys

Whilst on the subject of keyboards I thought I would do an exhaustive list of what happens when you hold down a key on the on screen keyboard. If no reference to a particular key appears in the list below it is because nothing happens. I have donenthis test in same qwerty order of keyboard.

Standard layout


wŵ eëéèêēęè yÿŷ úüûù íïîìįī oóöôòºøõœō aàáâäæãåāª sśßš lł zžźż cćçč nńñ ,' .

Notes
  1. The upper quotation mark can be achieved by just holding coma for a second, no need to move finger
  2. As I am not multi-lingual but have mathematical interests the short cuts particulalrly interesting to me are îºøâß

Upper case set by double clicking shift key


WŴ EËÉÈÊĒĘĖ YŸŶ UÚÜÛÙ IÍÏÎÌĮĪ OÓÖÔÒºØÕŒŌ AÀÁÂÄÆÃÅĀª SŠŚ LŁ ZŽŹŻ CĆÇČ NŃÑ !' ?

Numbers select ie 123 button


-—• £₩$€¥ &§ .… ?¿ !¡ '‘’ "«»“”„

Symbols #+= key


%‰ .… ?¿ !¡ '‘’ "«»”“„

Notes

  1. Bottom line of numbers and symbols key boards are the same.
  2. Some keys eg quote keys switch you back into alphabetic keyboard after they are pressed.
