The layout at a glance

The layout reaches 8 characters that an ordinary Latin keyboard does not carry: ¤ § ¨ ´ ½ å æ ø.

How to type in Danish

  1. Click the on-screen keys or type on your physical keyboard — both write into the same text area.
  2. Shift shows the second layer of every key: capitals and the characters printed at the top right.
  3. The Copy button puts the whole text on the clipboard, ready to paste into an email, a document or a form.
  4. The Google, YouTube and ChatGPT buttons run a search with the text you typed, without retyping it.
