Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

If you use the one I use, you don't really have to learn anything important - immediately.

There are other keyboard layouts that you press one key and then another and that's when the character will show up. So, every time you type a ' it waits to see if the next letter pressed is an e (or similar) so that it can output an é.

The keyboard layout I use is excellent. If you didn't know, you could type on it without ever realizing that it's got a different layout. It otherwise functions exactly like your layout - until you press the AltGr key. The AltGr is the key combination. There's like 40 keys with characters and this basically triples that.

I only use a few of them regularly, like ° © ³. I don't have the whole layout memorized.

I don't really have the need to type with the special characters. I am not a mathematician

Most of 'em aren't really math symbols.

I really only use the layout so that I can say 55°, El Niño, my 2¢, Just Works©, and Linux-Tips®.

I barely ever use the other characters. It's not like I need to spell Káös every day.

Do you really need to add the copywrite and restricted circles?

Is that a legal requirement?
