Burning an iso to CD on Windows

Looks like typing letters with the umlaut (diaeresis) has been made particularly easy for those of us using a keyboard with Finnish keys and layout: compose isn't needed at all, and typing in the umlaut doesn't require a modifier key. So even if ä and ö didn't have their own keys, I could get away with just two keypresses: the diaeresis followed by an a or an o. In fact, it's pretty useful from time to time, for typing ü (diaresis + u), which isn't part of our own alphabet and thus isn't present on the keyboard, but is still pretty common e.g. in German names.

ä <= compose, ", a ö <= compose, ", o å <= compose, o, a
Ä <= compose, ", A Ö <= compose, ", O Å <= compose, o, A
Order is important, as is case. Almost anything is generatable:
? € ¥ ¢ … ¿ ¡
all are preceeded by {compose}
(=L)(=e)(=Y)(|c)(..)(??)(!!)

On my Norwegian keyboard, the diaeresis is easily accessible, like on Jani's Finnish one. It's one of the few keys that doesn't advance the cursor, along with the tilde, circumflex and backtick (aka accent grave). It's probably the same on UK keyboards, so just try pressing AltGr+[, release, and then press a or o.
By the way, good luck with the Kalevala. Hyvä päivä!

On a UK keyboard you do alt-gr+[ followed by a to get ä. You don't need the control key at all.

Hi,
You might want to add an xkb keymap. Make backups before you begin ;) And sorry about formatting.
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb, after "intl", add this:
partial alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "intl_fi" {
// Greetings from Finland
include "gb(intl)" name[Group1]="United Kingdom - International (with dead keys and ä & ö)";
key <AC01> { [ a, A, adiaeresis, Adiaeresis ] }; key <AD09> { [ o, O, diaeresis, Odiaeresis ] };
};
And declare your new variant in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.xml. Excerpt:
<layout> <configItem> <name>gb</name> <shortDescription>GBr</shortDescription> <description>United Kingdom</description> <languageList><iso639Id>eng</iso639Id></languageList> </configItem>
<variantList> <variant> <configItem> <name>intl</name> <description>International (with dead keys)</description> </configItem> </variant>
<variant> <configItem> <name>intl_fi</name> <description>International (with dead keys and ä and ö)</description> </configItem> </variant>
After you select this new variant in Gnome settings, you should have ä and ö available with AltGR + a/o (also with shift). Have fun!
Best regards, Toni

I am from Germany but i use an US-layout keyboard since that's a lot easier for most my programming needs.
Now, having to also write the occassional german letter or email if ound this little gem somewhere around the internet.
Just put the following code into your ~/.Xmodmap and modify to your needs:
this changes CapsLock (the most useless key in computing history if you ask me :)) to be a modifier key used for all the following codes. So with CapsLock+a I get ä, Capslock+Shift+a renders Ä, the normal CapsLock functionality is also still available via Shift+Capslock.
Hope that helps, I for once do really like it.

In ubuntu, I do ctrl, and the functions to the right of my keyboard for extra characters.
Such as: alt gr + ; + e for é
I'll post more tomorrow if you want them!

Thanks everyone for your different solutions, absolutely fantastic. I have tried them all. The one from Ciaran McCreesh was the one I was subconsciously groping for.

Well, you could also just switch the whole layout to the standard Finnish one only when you need to write in Finnish.
Have a look at the "keyboard layout indicator" applet for GNOME.
You can set up shortcuts to do this easily when needed (for example, I press both shift keys at the same time and I loop through the group of layouts I have defined there).
I find this better than modifying one self's layout because it forces you to learn how to use another country's keyboard and that might save you money if you'll ever visit those places and their internet cafes :-)
