Slightly unusual question here. I somehow enabled some kind of special keyboard feature somewhere that allows me to enter foreign characters like ö and ü by using some kind of key sequence. I want to turn it off but have no idea how I even turned it on (some months back). Traditionally I'd have used the Character map or the ALT+nnn code (which is what I did to get ö and ü just then).
At some point I was browsing through options and saw the ability to enter those characters more easily and thought "yes please, I'll have some of that". The trouble is, I don't remember what the sequences were to get the characters, and I'm seemingly randomly getting those characters appear as I'm typing English text and I want it to stop.
I've looked in the regular Windows keyboard settings and language options and can't find it there. I also use PowerToys but can't find it in there. Finally, I have DisplayFusion Pro but can't find it in there either.
Anyone know of some method of getting these characters that might involve use of shift or control or alt or some combination along with the base letter and where such a thing is configured?
