Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I think I will just leave it on the default one, I know what to expect from that

If you use the one I use, you don't really have to learn anything important - immediately.

There are other keyboard layouts that you press one key and then another and that's when the character will show up. So, every time you type a ' it waits to see if the next letter pressed is an e (or similar) so that it can output an é.

The keyboard layout I use is excellent. If you didn't know, you could type on it without ever realizing that it's got a different layout. It otherwise functions exactly like your layout - until you press the AltGr key. The AltGr is the key combination. There's like 40 keys with characters and this basically triples that.

I only use a few of them regularly, like ° © ³. I don't have the whole layout memorized.

I don't really have the need to type with the special characters. I am not a mathematician

Most of 'em aren't really math symbols.

I really only use the layout so that I can say 55°, El Niño, my 2¢, Just Works©, and Linux-Tips®.

I barely ever use the other characters. It's not like I need to spell Káös every day.
