How would I know in advance that this gives Å and not Æ or Ã or Ā or Â or À or Á or Ä? And how would I type the other ones? Don't have a Mac, so I actually don't know how it is supposed to be done.

The same way you know in advance that CTRL+SHIFT+@ gives you Å in Windows?

Both Windows and Mac can display an on-screen keyboard that will display the character that will be output if you press a key along with modifier keys like CTRL or Option.

That's a very US-centric view of things.

On my Mac pressing "opt (AKA alt) + shift + a" gives me: Ą - which I much prefer, since it comes from my native language :)
