Unfortunately my experience is that not one size fits all. I have PC105
installed with standard German, also US and Latin American. That is
allright for Programming, German documents and Spanish but for
Portuguese and French I would need German dead tilde and dead grave
acute and one precludes the other. Also C-cedille is missing that would
require yet another keyboard layout: Brazilian Portuguese.
I do use KCharselect for the idioms I rarely write in if I don't know
the character code.
Just try it out and see if it fits your typing habits. Installing and
deinstalling keyboard layouts is not too time consuming.
All the best 2U
