Hi, so I usually use the US/International keyboard layout (mobile/android,heliboard) However this doesn't let me write many European languages, even those using the latin script. It's honestly terrible. How do I get the Polish L and the C and S with an upside down ^ type thing on it from slovenian? halp

One of them (I can't recall its name) allows you to quickly call up a toolbar for special accented characters, and other symbols - eg, if you want the © symbol, you type C, activate the toolbar via a keyboard shortcut and it's there to select along with ç and other relevant options. I use it all the time, it's really handy.

EDIT: Here's a link, and that tool is called Quick Accent
