How is your customer with system76 Launch totally customizable and fully reprogrammable open source mechanical keyboard supposed to write/type a special character åäöøñňáàíčřšçžťþďæłāõôœ on a latest version Linux Mint operating system?

DEB and RPM packages called system76-keyboard-configurator seems to exist for:

  • Debian Sid (also called Debian Unstable)
  • Ubuntu 23.04
  • Ubuntu 22.04
  • Fedora 38
  • Fedora 37
  • Archlinux
  • Manjaro

See for instance software.opensuse.org

See AUR repository for Archlinux and Manjaro.

See Fedora repositories.

See pkgs.org.

These special characters do not come from the keyboard's scancode mapping but from the operating system's layout. Different layouts will have these in different locations, I recommend you do research on keyboard layouts that your operating system provides.

For more clarity: at the keyboard level, you can map the A scancode to any key, but whether it outputs a, A, å, ä, á, or à is up entirely to the operating system and there is nothing the keyboard can do to control it.
