Typing Latvian on your keyboard
The standard Latvian layout is a US QWERTY with an AltGr dead key: hold AltGr, release, then press the letter to add the garumzīme or the comma. Nothing is on a key of its own, so all eleven diacritic letters depend on that one modifier. Watch out for ģ: Unicode calls it a cedilla letter, but the mark is a comma and on the lowercase g it sits above the letter, not below.
