And on qwerty US-International which is used throughout most countries that don't want to use their own specialized keyboards it's alt+s.

Then the Duden[0] gives the following rule:

"Fehlt das ß auf der Tastatur eines Computers oder einer Schreibmaschine, schreibt man dafür ss."

Translation: "If the ß is missing on a computer keyboard or typewriter, you have to write 'ss' instead".

But it's not missing. This is like saying capital s is missing because you have to press shift+s.

Hehe true. I guess they mean "if the (standalone) key is missing".

I'm pretty sure they refer to the inability to type ß. Which is a real concern for type writers, less so for most keyboards. I'm writing this using an American keyboard and I don't see why I shouldn't use "ß" just because it's a different key(-combination). I also wouldn't start writing "spaet" just because "ä" takes a bit more work (Alt+U, A).

The Duden abides. (sorry!)

AltGr+S (or Ctrl+Alt+S).
