[solved] Special characters

[gidoca]

I feel really stupid for asking this, but how do I type special characters like / on the physical keyboard? Its labelled yellow on the same key as P, but I have yet to figure out how to actually type it. I would have thought it should be the yellow arrow key + P, but that doesn't work. I selected English US as the keyboard layout.

EDIT: it works if I deselect all keyboard layouts. However, if I do that, I keep getting a notification to select a layout.

You should try out FinQwerty. This app brings much better keyboard layouts, which you can select after installation.

In the Default layout you press & hold the Arrow key next to the left control key to get the yellow characters.

Yup same here, but after a few times it asks do you want to block the notification.
