Fun fact: you’d think you could easily type capital à, è, é, ì, ò, ù on an Italian keyboard. Wrong. There’s no way you can do that, unless you have a Macbook. Italians are just forced to type A’, E’, I’, O’, U’ instead. But you know what we CAN type? Ç and ç. That’s right, a letter we don’t even have in our alphabet.

actually Ç is very useful because we have that letter in the albanian alphabet. so don’t assume keyboards are only for certain languages.

well the italian keyboard was in fact designed for the italian language, my guy

I have an Italian keyboard on my Chromebook, which I’m using right now, and I can type à è é ì ò ù as well as ç just fine.

I was talking about typing those… but CAPITAL

All I can think of is that post talking about how the reading comprehension on this site is piss poor, and someone responds with “how dare you say we piss on the poor”

i refuse to believe this because i have a portuguese keyboard which you’d assume to be similar (as it also has ç) and i can type capital accented letters just fine

ÀÁÈÉÌÍÒÓ

you just hold shift when pressing the accent key and the letter key for something like À and you don’t hold shift when pressing the accent key and hold shift when pressing the letter for Á

@aeritus back me up here can you do capital accented letters

The reason why they can’t is because their keyboard looks like this:

whereas your keyboard should look like this:

As you can see, you have a dedicated key for both ´ `, whereas Italians have keys with the vowels already with the accents, which they cannot capitalize.

Compare it to other romance language keyboards.

Hispanic America:

Brazil:

and France which doesn’t even use QWERTY

When it comes to switching between languages, the Spanish and Portuguese ones are superior.

holy shit

who designed the italian keyboard

Pretty sure they made it clear not, but yeah

can’t type capitals with accent
