Gene Evans (ID: 000000cb6fcf165a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/18/2023 It works really well for typing in romance languages, without having to install an international keyboard. The biggest drawback is that I can't see a way to copy upper case letters with accents, only lower case.

Jack R (ID: 000000aee410400f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/26/2020 Demasiados pocos caracteres. Solo tiene unas pocas letras griegas y las cinco vocales con los distintos diacríticos usados en los idiomas romances.
