About

This is a layout for writing Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, and Hungarian. All accented letters in Spanish, German, and Hungarian can be entered with ; followed by 1 keystroke, and all accented letters in French and Portuguese can be entered with ; followed by at most 2 keystrokes.

Spanish / Español

• á = ;a
• é = ;e
• í = ;i
• ó = ;o
• ú = ;u
• ý = ;y
• ñ = ;n

French / Français

• ç = ;c
• Letters with grave: à = ;fa
• Letters with circumflex: â = ;ja (or with colemak: ;la)
• Letters with umlaut: ë = ;ve

Portuguese / Português

• Letters with tilde: ã = ;xa

German / Deutsch

• ß = ;b
• ö = ;d
• ü = ;s
• ä = ;r

Hungarian / Magyar

• ő = ;k (qwerty only) ő = ;e (colemak only)
• ű = ;l (qwerty only) ű = ;w (both qwerty and colemak)

Punctuation, non-accented characters, uppercase, colemak

Non-accented characters can be typed as usual. To type ; itself, use ;;. For uppercase characters, replace the last character with uppercase. So Á = ;A, À = ;fA

Colemak

A colemak version is also available. For colemak, ; in the colemak position (on the p letter), the accent modifier key (middle key) is in the QWERTY position if present, and the base vowel (final key) is typed according to the colemak position. For example, ñ would be typed ;n (according to colemak position) / pj (according to QWERTY positions), and à would be typed ;ta (according to colemak position) / pfa (according to QWERTY position).
