And that's where we disagree. AltGr with anything isn't fast or easy in my opinion, it's good for those symbols used once a month or thereabouts.

I can't avoid Windows+Orifice even though my real HW work is all in Linux so the Windows Finnish layout is all I know. What provides the keyboard layouts in Linux, is it X with xkbset or do the various desktop environments provide their own? |

According to the Wikipedia article on the AltGr key, it is usually mapped to a key that's in the same place as the right 'Alt' on many US keyboards, including my own. That article indicates that the common keyboard setup in Norway uses AltGr to display the following characters that I can type directly on my US keyboard: @${[]}~'. Of those 9 characters, there's only two that I can type without using the shift key. I just tried typing those characters using my right 'Alt' key as if I had a Norwegian keyboard set up. Except for 'AltGr'+'0' => '}', they weren't any harder to type than the shift sequences I needed for those same characters on a US keyboard. What makes you feel that the 'AltGr' key is so difficult to use that it should be used only once a month? Do you avoid using shifts, too? |

Do you avoid using shifts, too? FWIW, one of the reasons I dislike camelcase is the need to use the shift key too frequently, and I type fast enough that the shift often sticks to the next keystroke which necessitates correction. |

Do you avoid using shifts, too? AltGr is on the same side of the keyboard as the most needed []{}\, so two keys 4 rows apart need to be pressed at the same time with the same hand. Can be done, but a bit cumbersome. Maybe it's just a habit thing. Maybe it's different with Norwegian layout, they mentioned dead keys. On Estonian keyboard AltGr is a modifier which is not a dead key, so needs to be pressed simultaneously. |

Also its *Disclaimer* apparently asked to contact system manager of Indian Institute of Technology on case the confidential information about homework of Kunal Goswami that it contains leaked into Usenet (or something like that). |

It's tempting to contact them and point them to this thread... Andy |

I did always find those disclaimers slightly amusing, as in order to see them in the first place, one needs to have the email "envelope" addressed to them ... -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: DDAB 23FB 19FA 7D85 1CC1 E067 6D65 70E5 4CE7 2860 |
