User reviews
Hi folks, the new version of this extension has been posted to https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/us-mac-option-keyboard/afmldfdagnihammkglfkchbmmodiopfp It's the same as this, but updated for manifest v3.
Life saver. As someone living in Germany, and using a US keyboard layout, but still having to type ü, ß and ä quite often, this extension is a life-saver. Thanks for making this.
ChromeOS's support for using accents in english is so ridiculously unwieldy that it's unusable (https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1059492?hl=en ). Trying to type something like César's requires switching keyboards midflow.
I am so so happy to have a functional alternative that allows me to show respect for the diversity of how we use the English language in real life.
