Posted March 3, 2009 Alt+e for é. On my laptop it's Alt Gr + e, but I can't remember if you get that on other keyboards... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah, Alt Gr and a letter works for me, always has: áéÃóú. As a last resort you can copy characters from the character map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 11, 2009 I like to think of it as a meeting between a soldier and a dog. "HALT!" "Grrrrrr" lol, whenever I say 'Alt Gr', which admittedly isn't very often, I say it as Grrrrrrr. It feels right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 16, 2009 Blasted american style keyboards....I can't do any of that. I have no Gr key, and Alt just goes to the toolbar. You hold it, not press it. Like alt + f4 works, kinda. Hold ALT and press the numbers to make things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 16, 2009 I was holding it, it does nothing. That's what you get for being born on the wrong side of the Atlantic... :wink: You can get a rather handy keyboard layout editor from Microsoft's website, if you want to do all this crazy shit.

Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) What I'd really like is decent input systems for Korean and Russian (as opposed to just keyboard maps), and also some facilty for adding diacritics to letters like V, which even Charis SIL doesn't seem to manage that well. Damn missionaries... :wink: Edited March 16, 2009 by Supergrunch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) For Pc hold Alt then use the number pad to the right to enter the numbers, for laptop use the FN key a put num lk on, then hold alt and enter the numbers. I think this is all of them. Or when in MS word go up to "insert" from the drop down menu, pick Special Characte, change it from symbols to the font you are using, then select the letter you need Alt Plus number = 0138Š 0140Œ 0142Ž 0154š 0156œ 0158ž 0159Ÿ 0192À 0193à 0194 0195à 0196Ä 0197Ã… 0198Æ 0199Ç 0200È 0201É 0202Ê 0203Ë 0204ÃŒ 0205à 0206ÃŽ 0207à 0208à 0209Ñ 0210Ã’ 0211Ó 0212Ô 0213Õ 0214Ö 0215× 0216Ø 0217Ù 0218Ú 0219Û 0220Ãœ 0221à 0222Þ 0223ß 0224à 0225á 0226â 0227ã 0228ä 0229Ã¥ 0230æ 0231ç 0232è 0233é 0234ê 0235ë 0236ì 0237à 0238î 0239ï 0240ð 0241ñ 0242ò 0243ó 0244ô 0245õ 0246ö 0247÷ 0248ø 0249ù 0250ú 0251û 0252ü 0253ý 0254þ 0255ÿ or just copy and paste the letter from here.

Posted March 27, 2009 If you have WORD, click on INSERT, SYMBOL. Highlight the letter you want (you may need to change fonts to find the letter, as not all fonts have all characters) and you will see the ASCII symbol in a small display box. Note this for future use. You can either insert your symbol into a WORD .doc, then copy it to somewhere else, or you can use the ALT key to type the code on your numeric keypad - eg press and hold ALT key and type 0246 on the NUMERIC pad. This should give you ö! Numbers for umlaut are 0228 0196 0246 0214 0252 0220 (including capitals). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
