Keyboard Shortcut – Add to Print Custom Characters

keybindingskeyboardshortcut

I would like to map the Alt (Option) + (a/u/o/s) to ä,ü,ö,ß

Is there a native way, or a software for it?

I use Ukelele which is a keyboard layout creator for mac.

I'd recommend "File > New from current input source..."

Then you can just hold down the ⌥ key and then double-click a key to change its output. Here you can paste your special characters.

Save your new layout and move it to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/

Then you should be able to choose it from your keyboard/input sources preferences
