Ha, German/English/US, trivial (says she who had to switch back and forth at work and was buzzing instead of buying stuff for the better part of the first week). Any of the above vs French, that’s where it gets difficult. Yeah, that’s right, pressing shift to get digits. Plus some more swapped letters. To get funny letters on a keyboard that doesn’t have them, it should be Compose-key, diacritical marks, base letter. Compose is the same one that turns three periods into an ellipsis and stuff (yes, there’s a silly joke in there somewhere). Lastly, if all else fails, you can also enter them in ISO 14755 mode, but that’s such a hassle. That’s the one that’s activated with Control-Shift and lets you input the really arcane characters (like “lesbian”, ⚢, 26a2) by number.

That said, for German umlauts, it’s perfectly fine to use an “e” instead, so instead of äöüß, you use ae oe ue ss.

If you’re using a Macintosh computer, you can make an umlaut (the a’s, o’s, and u’s with the two dots over them), by pressing option+u and then the letter of the umlaut

I’ve always wanted to know how to make an umlaut without breaking eggs.
