User reviews

It works really well for typing in romance languages, without having to install an international keyboard. The biggest drawback is that I can't see a way to copy upper case letters with accents, only lower case.

Demasiados pocos caracteres. Solo tiene unas pocas letras griegas y las cinco vocales con los distintos diacríticos usados en los idiomas romances.
