Hi i just got my 80he TenZ edition. It is in ansi layout but i am from Germany and we use letters like ä etc. . Now want to import them so i can technically still use them even if i don't see them on the keyboard.
Can somebody help me with the import of letters in Wootility?
#Import keys like: ä,ö,ü

steep lintel
itll just work
whats printed on the keycaps doesnt matter
what matters is what keyboard layout you set in your OS
the print on the keycaps is just so you know where the keys are if you use the same keyboard language in Windows as you bought as a keyboard
sharp lynx
yeah ofc but u can give custom keys no
steep lintel
idk what you mean with custom keys
if you mean in wootility remap then no not really
sharp lynx
steep lintel
if you set Windows to be US keyboard layout then the keyboard layout has no umlaute at all
there is no way to input them without work arounds
1 work around is using US (International) and not US for the keyboard layout
it changes how the " key works
(and some others)
so pressing " waits for the next keypress and then combines it or doesnt

i used an merikan layout wiith germen in my os and it screwed some shit up
steep lintel
what
sharp lynx
but u say when i use english international i should work or what
steep lintel
it also works if you just set it to german in windows
just that the keycap print does not match
sharp lynx
but its a different layoout and for eg. the enter key is different so it messes some stuff up
steep lintel
no
sharp lynx
u sure
steep lintel
the key in ANSI thats above enter is the key left of the enter in ISO
the only thing "messed up" is that you are "losing" a key which is the key next to right shift on the ISO layout
on a german keyboard that is <>\
but you can remap that to the FN layer if you need it
as you can see literally just moves
and this is how your keyboard sees itself and how the PC sees the keyboard. no letters (thats what the keyboard layout in Windows handles) just numbers of the key position
sharp lynx
okay i would have bet everything on my old ansi keybord doing some wierd stuff
it sounds logic what u say
steep lintel
it can feel weird if you dont know the layout and the print on the keycaps doesnt match
sharp lynx
maybe
steep lintel
also to quickly come back to US international
its a good option for german actually
you know how ` key works?
where you have to press it once and then spacebar to get it to show up?
or you press ` and then e and it makes the combined character
US international does that with a few more things like " and ' (i think even ~)
sharp lynx
yes#
steep lintel
so you can just press " and a and get ä
US international also has ways to type ß and ẞ (upper and lowercase eszett)
steep lintel
thats als one problen with switching from iso to ansi
ISO and ANSI is just the physical layout not the language btw
sharp lynx
i mean typing a # sometimes
steep lintel
oh yeah cause youre used to hit enter higher up but now its a flat key
but yeah I suggest trying US international
its a nice solution to keep the keycap print matching
but also input any character special to languages outside of english
sharp lynx
i wll try it now thx for the help
