[TxMt] Re: Press and hold key for special characters (Umlauts)

[Gerd Knops]

I am in the sam boat. What I did years ago is use Ukelele*1 to create a "US-German" keyboard that makes äöü available on aou when holding option down. So option is basically my "German" modifier. This allows me to type much more fluent.
