Way too much geek for me I am afraid. At my age I am lucky if I remember the alphabet.
I'm not exactly young, closer to 60 than 50
 
No, it isn't, is it.

Years ago when I was a software developer, I worked on a few web apps that needed to render in foreign languages (Spanish and French), and the only way to render those characters from a qwerty keyboard was to use the character codes from the lower half of the ASCII table.

<ALT> + 130 = é
<ALT> + 140 = î
<ALT> + 160 = á

and so on.
Is there an ALT + for an umlaut?

How To Type Umlaut?​

Hold down the “alt” key on your keyboard and type one of these codes:

  1. ä : Alt + 0228.
  2. ö : Alt + 0246.
  3. ü : Alt + 0252.
  4. ß : Alt + 0223.
  5. Ä : Alt + 0196.
  6. Ö : Alt + 0214.
  7. Ü : Alt + 0220.

Or you could get a Mac and hold down the letter of choice and it will give you that option along with several others. Use the shift key + letter of choice for upper case. Super easy.

ä
ö
ü
ë
ï
ß this one uses the "s" key.
