    Is there a simple way to handle alt-codes, or do I just memorize the ones I need?


    OS: Windows 10 Home v. 2004

    I've recently migrated from an old Mac, and one of my favorite things about it was that accessing character accents was incredibly simple.

    If I wanted to put an umlaut on any fitting character, I just pressed Alt+u, and that character. Circumflex? Alt+i, and the character. Grave? Alt+` and the character.

    For someone who regularly works with multiple languages, what's the best way to approach diacritics on Windows?

    It does do that, mlee. All buttons have tooltips with the alt code and a description listed in it.

    The masculine ordinal number in Spanish, Italian and Portugese? I'm not even sure what it is for ... lol

    I had originally thought of including all of the characters with accents and a lot of other special punctuation, but I was trying to keep the GUI small.
    The intent of this app was for quick characters when forum posting and not a comprehensive list of all the possible alt codes.
    I will give it some thought. Maybe a settings option so the GUI only displays the character sets that you need/want.

    Nice app, can it display the actual ALT code if you hover over the icon? That might be handy.

    Plus my favorite ALT Code is ALT+0186. *Smile Is there a simple way to handle alt-codes, or do I just memorize the ones I need? :) I use it alot.
