Dear list,
My girlfriend will be using my MP 2k for a while in a field research
(a notebook is too heavy). I've writtem most (if not all) docs in
English, but she'll need a better/quicker/easier way to type foreign
(western european) characters and accents.
I've searched the net for a while, discovered some programs that could
help, but it appears that none of them have the desired functionality
she'll need:
simple, dead key-like, way to input accented letters via attached
keybord or by switching the default on-screen keyboard.
Can anyone share some experience on this subject? I'm pretty sure that
my girlfriend will be *really* bored by typing a few paragraphs with
the default option-key_combo method, and, besides, I can't guarantee
all characters will be there.
As a programmer, I'm willing to write a new app, if necessary... Any
advice or known similar source code to start with?
I also tried a package called Int'l Keyboard, but a error occurred when
installing, the default on-screen keyboard died after that and I had to
restore a recemt backup. 8-(
Any advice would be thankful.
TIA,
Marcus
