Where is the apostrophe ?
The apostrophe is already present on a QWERTY keyboard, as a standard English
symbol , so there is no need for an additional such symbol with Ergo Romanian. When used
with editors like Word, the apostrophe is automatically converted to its
typographical/rounded form - depending on application settings. However, for
editors that do not provide this automatic conversion, Ergo Romanian 2.0
provides the rounded apostrophe on the apostrophe key under AltGr, as follows:
Type ’
: press AltGr + '
Never switch to other layouts?
Not when typing Romanian. But if you need to type a few words in English,
switch to the English layout. Use the taskbar's language icon, or Alt + Shift. It is
recommended to switch the another layout whenever you need to type a word or more in a
different language.
Switch layouts by pressing:
Alt+Shift
