How to type Polish
This is Polish (Programmers): the US layout with the Polish letters added on AltGr, so every other key is where you expect it.
Hold AltGr (the right Alt key) and press the base letter: ą is AltGr + A, ę is AltGr + E, ó is AltGr + O, ś is AltGr + S, ł is AltGr + L, ć is AltGr + C and ń is AltGr + N. The two that do not follow the rule are ż on AltGr + Z and ź on AltGr + X. Add Shift for the capitals, so Ł is AltGr + Shift + L.
The older Polish (214) layout, a QWERTZ typewriter layout with the letters on their own keys, is in the Layout menu.
