Where is the Alt+Gr button? (German keyboard layout)

I have an iBook from the US and use it with German keyboard layout. I miss the Alt+Gr key. For example I need it to type the @ symbol, which I used to get with AltGrq.
Can anyone please help me how to activate the Alt+Gr key or how to type @, [, ], ~ with the German layout?

To create an @ in the German layout, press the Option and L keys simultaneously. The [ and ] can be made by pressing Option+5 and Option+6 respectively. To create an ~, hold down Control, Option, and N.

Unable to use the "Alt Gr"-button

Hello,
I've just installed Arch again after being on W7 for 2 last year.
But it seems that the "Alt Gr"-button wont work properly.
I'm using LXDE and I've tried to find an answear about the problem but so far nothing.
The layout I am using is se_SV and the Alt Gr button is essencital for us sweds since it is in the combaination to typ the @-sign.
I believe that the keyboard works properly outside LXDE so I would assume that the problem envolvs around LXDE.
Any ideas?

Solved:
The default xmodmap is useless for swedish keyboards since most keymappings looks like this:
keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl 2 quotedbl at twosuperior
This is the mapping for key the "2". The symbols after the '=' is:
2: produces '2' by typing 2 without modifier
quotedbl: produces '"' by typing 2 with shift
2: produces '2' by typing 2 with Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
quotedbl: produces '"' by typing 2 with shift+Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
The rest of the mappings is unaccesible for my keyboard. See the problem?
Changing the keycode mapping with
xmodmap -e "keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl at twosuperior"
gives
2: produces '2' by typing 2 without modifier
quotedbl: produces '"' by typing 2 with shift
at: produces '@' by typing 2 with Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
twosuperior: produces '²' by typing 2 with shift+Multi_key (Alt_Gr)
To do the same for all relevant keys I kopied the keymap
xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmaprc
I edited the ~/.xmodmaprc file like above for all relevant keycodes and then loaded the file with
xmodmap ~/.xmodmaprc
on startup wia the autostart script for the LXDE session

Where is the outline promote button on the format bar?

I'm working on an outline in Pages. I found the keyboard shortcuts i.e. Tab, and Command Tab, for promoting and demoting a line, after a lot of looking. But where is the promote/demote button, in the tool bar, that Help keeps mentioning. Where the heck is it?

You will need to customize your Pages v4.3 toolbar and add these Increase and Decrease buttons.
Pages > Menu > View > Customize Toolbar ...
Drag and Drop the following icons from the customization panel to your Pages toolbar and release.
Now you will have promote/demote control over indentation in your outline.

Hi brazzy3,
Welcome to the forum.
You can set the default startup disk from within System Preferences in OSX. Simply fire up System Preferences, select Startup Disk then select the volume you want to startup from automatically.
Boot Camp Beta also installs a Startup Disk control panel that lets you set the default operating system when you’re running Windows XP.

They should be right there on the page, but if you don't see them, reset the phone and try again (hold down the home and power buttons until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears, then let go).

The Kindle app (I assume that you mean that you reading a Kindle book in the Kindle app) supports sharing to Twitter and Facebook (press and hold on a word, and when you release it you should get a popup for highlighting, notes and a version of share)

HT4623 where is the 'Update Software' button on iPhone 3?

Having found the page for software updates on apple info pages,
but where is the 'Update Software' button on an iPhone 3, then?

There isn't one on the iPhone 3G. That model can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1, & OTA updates require iOS 5.0 or higher.
You have to update an iPhone 3G using iTunes.

Assign German keyboard layout to English input source?

I have a MacBook Pro with a German keyboard layout (physical). If I change the input source to US English, Mac would not recoginze the German keyboard layout (i.e. it prints Z when I press Y). Is there a way to assign German keyboard layout to the US English input source? So I can type English using the physical German keyboard.
The reason why i need US English input source is MS Office for Mac automatically changes the proofing language based on the input source.
i have ukelele installed but am not sure the best way to do it.

Nobody does that as far as I know. How about Tools > Language to change the language of your doc to whatever you want?
http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/word-2011-for-mac-changing-the-dictionary- to-a-dif.html
Plus for the default template if you want
"Open a blank document. On the Tools menu choose language. Choose the language version you want to use. Click the DEFAULT button to change that to the default language. Close the dialog and then quit Word. When prompted whether you want to save changes to the Normal template (that's the default template), choose yes, you do want to save the changes."

[SOLVED] German keyboard layout working in XDM, but not in E17?

Hello out there,
After a fresh installation of my Arch Linux box, I want to use e17.
Everything works fine, except that e17 does not take over the german keyboard layout that I configured for X.
This is the content of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-keyboard.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "keyboard"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
Under XDM, I can enter Umlauts and everything is fine. In e17, this is not the case.
I am sure that I already had this problem in the past but I can't remember the solution.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Now I put this in the file 10-evdev.conf, but with still no more effect.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection

Solved only for basic variants of keyboard layouts. I use 'cz qwerty', but no option for this xkbmap variant is icluded into XKBSwitch module. Loading this variant manually via setxkbmap command is possible'but annoying... There is no support for XKB variants in e17 when X used and supported by e17 provide the job reliably but of extraordinary way for e17 configuration.

How to setup german keyboard layout?

I am currently working on a german layout.
If I click on the keyboard indicator on the toolbar there are a couple of already existing keyboard layouts (beside english) but not german.
So how can I install german keyboard layout on an existing Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris 2009.06 machine?
Peter

It is a known bug on the Asus Transformer. Firefox works fine with it as a tablet. Though we still have some issues to sort out with the hardware keyboard. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669361
