That's great. Much more sensible than the alt+0196 etc.


Yes, it's a lot easier to remember All-char mnemonics than alt-key
combinations

I use a standard QWERTY keyboard; it does the job right most all the

acute or grave accents to various vowels, as one would on a french
keyboard. I also need a way to add an umlaut for German, or a tilde
for spanish.
What's the easiest way to add these marks without changing
keyboards?


There are several ways. I use a little freeware background program
called AllChars. This lets me type many common special characters
(many of these are used in other languages) by pressing the ctrl key
followed by a two character mnemonic combination.

For example, for ñ the two characters are ~ and n. For ç it's c and
, For ü it's u and "
