I tried that, didn't work with my keyboard. Go figure, I can type most anything else with US-International. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

You can try to build a custom layout witch encompasses all the letters you need for your languages, in the way
they are more congenial to you. Unfortunately I’ve no idea how to do that on Windows. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I did it with Microsoft Keyboard Creator, changed the Finnish/Swedish layout to add an ü and a ß. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The first thing I did was set two useless keys on my keyboard to a "dead breve" and "dead circumflex", respectively. This allowed me to type all Esperanto letters, such as ĉ and ŭ.
Later, I decided to drop those two key assignments in favor of setting a Compose key. With a Compose key, you can type all Esperanto letters and much more. To type ĉ, for example, you hold down the Compose key, type the key sequence "^c", then release the Compose key. To type a ŭ, use the sequence "uu". This is the reference that I use to look up sequences. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

For those here who use Ubuntu (maybe I'm the only one, dunno), you can access a lot of
special characters by going to System → Preferences → Keyboard → Layouts → Layout Options and setting the Compose Key Position. Then you just hit whatever you set the compose key to, hit whatever key seems obvious to begin the character (for the circumflex its shift+6), and then hit the key you want to add it to. So ĉ = compose key + ^ + c. There are a lot of language related characters you can access this way. Customizing the keyboard is a bit more difficult than in Windows though. EDIT: Bah, too slow.

I have the keyboard set up, but I can't put ˆ over anything. Same with ˇ.
