Example Punctuation Keymap

Punctuation Keymap of the German Keyboard Layout for Ubuntu.

Our personal keymap depends on the keyboard layout and the operating system. The punctuation signs for the usual German keyboards are relatively easy to use with Ubuntu Linux. As far as I know other Linux distributions ship with the same convenient layout.
