i'd rather have 4 arrow-keys and all the umlaute (äÄ, öÖ, üÜ) mapped on the arrow-keys or something like that. i mean, the arrow-keys on the 4-arrow-key-versions dont have a second function, right? so why not use them to map the german (or scandinavian) special letters to them...? what happens when you push "blue arrow" and one of the directional keys together?
