Reply to comment by Neozetare in PSA: Please stop calling these "Irish" sublegends. They are not Irish. by DiplomacyPunIn10Did

You could even call them "Dutch" and be at least partially correct.

No more correct than saying Irish though, since I see í and ó which are used in Irish.

“Dutch” is partially correct because this layout is the predominant layout used in the Netherlands.

Intermediate Dutch speaker here. How?

Because US International is the most widely used keyboard layout in the Netherlands.

Not really a Dutch language layout. More of a Dutch people layout. Thus partially correct.

It is? What kind of keyboard do they use typically, ISO or ANSI?

DiplomacyPunIn10Did OP t1_itq1lcc wrote

I think they primarily use ANSI, but all ANSI-based layouts work just fine on ISO boards.

Tremas (don't know the English word) and accents exist in Dutch, they're just not common

But that doesn't make these dutch sublegends does it?

That's where the partially correct part comes into play

Partially correct for a different reason. US International is the most widely used layout in the Netherlands.

And then there's US Alt Intl. that strangely enough cancels out the need for the right Alt key. Instead, for an 'é' for example, you just press ' and then e, no need to hold them. I just can't remember if that's a linux thing or also common on Windows...

That’s already part of US International. There are dead keys on ‘ ` ^ ~ and possibly a couple others.
