Is it possible to create custom keyboard shortcuts on Windows 10 to generate characters that aren't featuring on your keyboard ? In my case I often need the ß character but it's not featuring on my keyboard. I can get this character with the ALT+225 combination but I think it would be more easy if I could use for instance ALT GR + S (like there is now the standard € character with the ALT GR + E combination.)

This can be easily achieved with a tool such as AutoHotKey from https://www.autohotkey.com/
Your ahk script would I believe be
<^>!:S
!c::Send {U+00DF}
return

For your particular example (ß), I use the United States-International keyboard layout on my computer, which specifically assigns that character to the AltGr-s keystroke. However, for the more general case, you might want to consider using a keymacro program like AutoHotKey.

1Thanks for the tip, I never heard about AutoHotKey, meanwhile I could "write" the script too, it was like this:
<^>!s:: Send, ß return– smirnoff103 – 2020-01-10T08:41:42.863
