USGerman Keyboard Layout Developer NotePrevious 2 reviews didn't quite understand this utility - Version: 0.9.8, 1/7/2008 08:40AM PST

jan.borchers
The previous 2 reviewers (wildwolf1 and fusion) missed the point of this utility. Neither the standard US keyboard layout nor the USInternational one let you type German special characters (äöüÄÖÜß) by just pressing Option+letter, only USGerman does. That's its whole point; it makes typing German text on US keyboard layouts much faster. I've used it myself since 2004 and couldn't live without it.

I have been using USInternational (released 2002-02-08 !!) also available on Version Tracker, for years. It does this and more: German (including scharfes s, Umlaut, etc.), accented French, accented Spanish, etc. on a US keyboard, all intuitive, and it still works perfectly under Leopard.

I can already do all of that with my regular US-English keyboard layout. ü, ä, ö, ß. See? So this seems kinda pointless. Or is this some survey project by the U of AA to see how stupid people are?
