<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hey!<br>
A friend has got a Vista-laptop (small, old Vaio) with a QWERTY keyboard.<br>
Since she's writing in Polish, Spanish, English and German getting international characters is a real pain for her.<br>
I searched for a solution, but I didn't find anything useful, just this ancient hold ALT-and-type-the-ASCII-code-on-the-number-pad trick.<br>
First this laptop has no number pad and second ...WTF?? (read "usability?")<br>
<br>
On my Mac I relatively easily can compose characters which I don't have directly on the keyboard,<br>
like øëáì etc ... (i didn't take äöüß as an example since I got them on my kbd ;-)<br>
<br>
However, I'd really like to help her - maybe you've got a neat idea how to get the characters needed for those languages without braking the flow?<br>
thanks a lot - Michael.<br>
