For other characters such as ¿ or ¡ I use a combo (Shift- > AltGr-_ and Shift-AltGr-! respectively). I tried dead keys, but it made normal typing a pain. I couldn't simply type a comma, for instance. I'd have to double-type it.

I can't say I've ever used the scroll lock for anything, and this keyboard has no indicator light to show whether it's on or off. The Caps Lock is nearly everybody's bugbear. I actually want to use it, sometimes, so I won't disable it. Over the years I'd tried the various things that made a beep if you hit it, so you stopped typing and corrected it (when it was an accidental press). But couldn't find the option on some releases. Recently I unsoldered the caps lock indicator LED and put a blindingly bright red LED in its place on my keyboard, that's my universal fix. So far, so good. I might do it to some other keyboards. Perhaps a fast flashing one, so it just screams for attention. I just wish they put the damn lights next to their keys, so it's obvious which was which. My laptop is even worse, it has them hidden behind a grill, so they're almost invisible. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.62.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 5 16:57:59 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
