A custom keyboard layout created by MS Keyboard Layout Creator (AltGr+vocal chars prints their respective umlauts, amongst other uses) under Win7, and xmodmap under Linux, where mapping key chars using modifiers results in the same behavior.
Flexible enough. Sadly, not that easy to do on most soft keyboards. Anyway, let's stop here; i get your point.)

I dunno if it ever was really available besides prototypes; at least the 3-key version was. The price 5 years ago was IIRC 1200€, so...
I still dream of having a mechanical keyboard (preferably using Cherry MX blue-stem switches), and keycaps w/ small OLED displays that show the mapped key codes/combinations.
EDIT:
Ther _is_ a purchasable smaller version, for your tablet etc. needs:

To quote one of my favorite comedy shows (Sataan): "Only $500, Mister".... Nope, it's still $1086

I wonder what Google do if jolla realise a great alc layer. Do they have to approve or do they even have to aprove? I mean you can run your software where everyou like. Will be intressting. Still skeptical to this layer. Must be some down sides otherwise that should have been in used already.

I want to see something else. A small company with the power to try some new and maybe, just maybe get someone of the big elephants to join, follow or take over jolla for their product is so different.
