I'm a student in Germany, so I have to type a lot in German.
There's four additional letters in German, ü ä ö ß. Since I'm using a computer with US layout, I can't type them directly but by using alt key.
Ü by typing alt+u once then u, occasionally shift switch also, Ä by typing alt+u then shift+a. So it's a lot of keys, not quite efficient.
Since I only have to type these 4 letters, is there any way to make it a bit easier?
Like alt+u directly for ü, alt+a ä, alt+o for ö?
Looking forward for Help!
thx

If you're going to be typing in German for a while, it may be useful to switch to the German keyboard layout as needed.
Settings > Keyboard > Input SourcesYou can use a keyboard shortcut or the menu bar icon to quickly swap between the layouts when working on assignments (but with much faster access to the accented letters you want.Otherwise you are looking at manually editing your U.S. layout to change the individual function of the keys, which is do-able but likely less desirable.
