So I was watching Populaire (typing film) with my partner. And I was asked the question how do the French (and others) deal with diacritics and so on with typewriters and keyboards.
I replied that in the olden days it was a two step process, you'd type a letter and then back space, and then add the diacritic.
And on modern keyboards you'd use the AltGr key. Some layouts elevate some glyphs to not require a modifier. Like Azerty (Azerty in the film is touted as the radical upstart).
That's about as far as I got.
So forgive my ignorance, but how consistant is the AltGr level?
I remember people suggesting Colemak had good international support. What's the Colemak approach to this. Is it bundled with the layout or is it an add-on?
