  • Umlaut

    Simple Windows program that outputs the German umlauts on certain shortcuts

  • This program changes the AltGr krey from producing French/Spanish letters to German letters: https://github.com/sunnysgithub/Umlaut

  • ChordKeys

  • I'm also going to plug my free open source software ChordKeys, which lets you get foreign characters by pressing two keys at exactly the same time. You can download the latest ChordKeysSetup.msi from here: https://github.com/mbsmith93/ChordKeys/releases -- I readily admit that this software is not of full professional quality and you may experience minor issues; the most common is that the process gets killed if your computer goes on power saving mode, and it will stop working until you run the process yourself or restart.
