The whole "Bluetooth keyboard layouts with SailfishOS"-topic should be investigated by clever users.

See this thread for example:
https://together.jolla.com/question/...yboard-layout/

I have a (still working) Nokia SU-8W BT keyboard. german layout. Nokia used a very exotic layout that relies on an additional Fn-key to produce even basic symbols (like numbers or @).

Additionally, I'd like to be able to map special characters of foreign languages I currently learn to certain AltGr-combinations.

I wouldn't know how to configure that with SailfishOS. SailfishOS offers me a choice of standard layouts for BT keyboards, but they don't fit.


If we find such a way to feely re-map BT keyboards, using English QWERTY for German, for example, might not be such an issue. You could re-map Z/Y, put öäüß to AltGr-oaus, respectively, and leave the rest unchanged. I would feel comfortable with such a solution.
