My Steam Deck arrived and I even got a setup for it. My problem rn is that my keyboard has an american layout but I need to type german umlaute sometimes…how do I do that?

    A friend gifted me a laptop with US layout. One day I figured I really needed those German characters. I did the same as @okiloki@feddit.de, except I ended up picking the US-International layout, and removed the old layout since I didn't need it anymore.

      That one works as well, but I dislike the way quotes work on that keyboard. I never got used to that.

        You're right, I misremembered! I tried US-International, and because of that exact issue you mentioned switched to EurKEY. In my case it wasn't part of the layout selection, so I had to change it in a config file.
