I was using US(Altgr-Int) as my primary keyboard layout for a long time (and having to setup xkb specific keybinds for äÄüÜßöÖ and € in a separate file).
Recently after getting a new keyboard I had to change something in my xkb config file to make it work as before and when I skimmed through /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us I came across a keyboard layout which was unbeknownst to me.
>// This (altgr-weur) layout is based on combined letter frequencies
>// for English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian,
>// Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish: all accented characters for
>// those languages are available through AltGr- combinations. Further
>// explanation can be found at: https://www.altgr-weur.eu/
>// - Adriaan and Enno
It's rather young, because it hasn't existed before 2015.
I ditched my previous keyboard layout immediately and I am using altgr-weur since then and will never look back. I even have French accents now! I didn't configure them before, because I was too lazy, using them too rarely to justify the 'effort' and always looked those up in a character map, copy pasting. Yikes.
What keyboard layout does Bernd use?
