I am thinking about this, I want to help you regarding this @henrikth93 , What if we have the virtual keyboard as well for suggestions of å, ä, when user wants to type "a" or what if we update the code in a way that

for example user is in "en -> de" then when he wants to input ü or ß as characters he can type with "option" like this here ü (Option+u), ß (Option+s)

I am thinking this way , not sure how can i implement this, but I wanna try my best to resolve this with help from @henrikth93

what do you say @andrewtavis ?

When I started investigating this I also came to the conclusion that we need to use key combinations (like option key + a, option key + o), but I never got it to work properly.

Is there a way to solve this in the allowed keys? Feel free to investigate if you are able to type certain special characters (does not have to be å, ä or ö).

Maybe at the very least we can expand it so that it's able to accept all keys that are on a keyboard. Your original thought on this is that a Swedish keyboard has these keys and they can't be entered, by pressing them, right @henrikth93? Is there some kind of dependency we could be using to get available characters for languages? As of now we have this as a list somewhere, if memory serves me?

Note that ideally we'd close this issue via #37 :)
