I could but I just don't want to install a program I won't use for anything else -- that's why I said
I don't feel like, etc.

Can you explain what a dead-key is?
|
Sure. A dead key is one that doesn't produce a character by itself, but puts into some buffer a character that is to be combined with the next one; that's how Spanish or International American keyboard layouts usually produce accented letters: one pushes "`", "´", "¨", etc. and gets "nothing" -- when "a" or any other key is pushed afterwards, "à", "á", "ä" or whatever is produced. It is much more elegant and practical than having individual keys for what can potentially be a lot of characters, but it may be beyond the current code and not really necessary so far.
