Not long ago I started the following thread on how to write Czech with a standard US ASCII
keyboard on Windows 7:
Writing Czech with US ASCII keyboard on Windows 7
where I was able to ask the question and obtained some no doubt excellent answers.
However, there is still something that perplexes me. With a Czech Programmers' keyboard,
how do you type a capitalized/uppercase accented character such as "Š" as opposed to "š"?
I am asking because despite the partial solution I suggested I later realized I was not
able to type accented capitalized characters in this way, and, since the external keyboard
I have is a PS/2 keyboard, it is too old and cannot adapt it to a modern USB-only computer
so I cannot tell.
Thanks for letting me know how to type capitalized "Š" with a czech programmer's keyboard.
Regards.
Following the answer that KLC could be used to solve the problem, I have posted the
screenshots of MSKLC running displaying the Czech Programmers' Keyboard layout below:
Answer
Looking at the Czech programmer’s keyboard (as included in Win 7) with MSKLC, I found that it has a diacritic key (a dead key for adding a diacritic mark) for háček (or “caron” as character standards oddly call it). It’s on the row with 1 2 ... 0, two keys to the right of “0”, and it seems to have the engraving “ˇ” in the top right part of the keycap. Unfortunately, this placement means that the key needs to be used together with both AltGr and Shift.
So you would need to press down the Shift key and the AltGr key and press that diacritic key, then type S (or another letter that can take a háček).
