Instructions for TypingFinnish in Windows

Deadkeys

The Finnish/Swedish with Sami keyboardlayout uses a system of deadkeys (highlighted in yellow below) to type certainaccented characters. To use the deadkey system, first type the deadkey; nothingwill appear on the screen. Next, type the key (generally a vowel) that you wishto combine with the deadkey. You should then see the accented character that youwant on the screen. If you press a deadkey and then a press a key that does notgo with that accent (such as pressing an accent and the number "2"),nothing happens; the accent deadkey must be correct to work. Depending upon thelanguage, deadkeys work with both unshifted and shifted keys.

The AltGr Key

Many languages include more characters than canbe typed on a standard computer keyboard. To solve this problem, additionalcharacters may be assigned to the right AltGr key (the right Alt key) and/or theShifted AltGr key. In Europe, the right Alt key is referred to as the AltGr key.In the United States, it is merely the right Alt key. It is important to notethat the left Alt key cannot be used as the AltGr key.

The 102 Style Keyboard

This language uses the European style 102keyboard layout. This keyboard layout features a key in the lower left corner ofthe keyboard (next to the US English "Z" key) that is not found onstandard US 101 keyboards. If you are using a standard US 101 keyboard, you willnot be able to use this label. If you are using the US 101 style keyboard andwish to type the characters on the 102 key, you will have to switch back toEnglish to be able to type these characters or use the Alt key input method.

To use the Alt key input method, hold down theAlt key on the keyboard and press the numbers indicated below for the desiredcharacter on the numeric keypad (note that the system only works with thenumeric keypad; it does not work with the number row across the top of thekeyboard).

Combination Keys

Many languages that use a complex script methodof input, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Punjabi, Hindi, etc., require that you typetwo or more keys in combination to product certain characters. This system isdifferent from the AltGr deadkey because it does not use the AltGr (i.e., theright Alt key) to produce the characters.

To type the combination characters, first pressthe key for the first letter in the combination; nothing will display on thescreen. Next press the second letter required in the combination. When thecombination is complete, it will display on the screen. Languages use more keycombinations than can be listed here. The user should experiment with thelanguage setup in Windows to see exactly what is required to produce thenecessary characters using the key combinations.
