Hot keys with AltGr for Windows 10
My Windows 10 laptop has a Scandinavian keyboard. Very convenient, as I can write the letters æ ø å with ease and ä ö with a couple of keystrokes. However, I am missing the quote symbols « and », and it would also be nice to be able to easily write the Icelandic/Old Norse Þ, þ and Ð ð. I would be happy if I could assign the combinations AltGR + (z, x, t, d respectively) to these. The quote symbols are more important for me; the others would be just a nice bonus. Autohotkey seems to be a good tool for such issues, but either I misunderstand something or it has problems with alt gr. What is a reasonable safe and low-maintenance way of assigning AltGr+z to « and AltGR+x to », and if possible, the letters too? I have a basic level of computer literacy, but very little experience with scripting or programming.
