@mntmn Not a fan of it. Using this keymap for my native Polish is unnecessarily cumbersome. And still idea of character combining as implemented in Linux, is easier to remember. When I need to write ö, I simply press ScrLock (my choice for combination introducer), then "o" then doublequote. Similarly é is ScrLock, then "e", then apostrophe, and so on.

@rastport @mntmn Good points, I agree. It seems the EU keymap also lacks Hungarian double accented vowels Ű/ű and Ő/ő, these are probably available with character composing, but then why not just use composing in the first place for everything? I tend to do that with US-Intl on Mac already. It is a much more "natural" experience of writing Hungarian, than remembering yet another keymap layout. (Because this EU keymap otherwise totally mismatches the national Hungarian keymap of course.)

@chainq @rastport compose is of course the best solution, but for languages like german that only have 3 umlauts, altgr combo is probably just quicker

@mntmn @rastport Hmm, I can see that, yes. It depends on the "complexity" the national characters add on top of some standard English/US/EU thing.
