The Arch-wiki was my main reason for switching to arch. When I used an ubuntu based distro I felt like I had to rely on forum posts to figure out anything whereas with arch everything is documented incredibly well

I did have a look at their tutorial and found it very technical, difficult to read and was unable to find any information on whether it is possible to send characters/text that are not part of the current keyboard layout. From what you describe I can guess now that kmonad is not really suited to what I am trying to achieve though.
