All views expressed on this site are my own. They do not necessarily reflect those of the Parish of Bursledon, the Diocese of Winchester or the Church of England. As such, I do not expect them all to be popular but you, the reader, can certainly expect them to be honest.

A demonstration seems a good idea: This is my keyboard with Alt Gr:

|¹²³€½¾{[]}\
@łe¶ŧ←↓→øþ
æßðđŋħjĸł
|«»¢“”nµ·

And now, Alt Gr+Shift:

|¡⅛£¼⅜⅝⅞™±°¿

Thank you for reading this drivel.

Garrett: To an extent, that's what your Alt Gr key is for.

Play around with the keyboard and the following combinations:

  • Alt Gr
  • Alt Gr + Shift
You won't find everything you want this way and almost certainly no umlauts so far as I can tell (sorry) but you may be surprised at what you do find (hint: Alt Gr+S is very useful in Germany).

Oh, and my bonus points come from Alt Gr+4.
