'US International' keyboard layout?

That assumes you're either American or are willing to put up with everything being in the wrong place.

Also, not much use in exams, where you have to use the computer they give you and you can't change anything.

Yeah, it's a pain -- I really dislike the "everything in the wrong place" issue. This really is simpler. Which is why it was concocted in the first place, one assumes.

I'm Ukrainian living in Germany, and I use Ukrainian layout for Ukrainian/Russian/Belorussian and US-Intl for all others - mostly German, Danish, Swedish and French.

The other option is having like 6 different layouts simultaneously - huh?

And it doesn't bother me that the German labels are on the "wrong"keys - I don't notice them.

I realised that after I'd left the comment *facepalm*

But maybe the school will find it useful to have on all their computers anyway! So I can ask them if they will agree to download it.
