If you really want accented characters in your browser, you can do it with Alt+<numpad> combinations, i.e., hold down the Alt key while typing the digits on the Num keypad, then release the Alt key. You only need to know the decimal ASCII code for the character:

é = Alt+130

è = Alt+138

ç = Alt+135

ô = Alt+147

Ç = Alt+128

etc.

Of course, it sort of screws up speed typing.

If you are using Windows, you can also create your text in Word using the shortcut keys then paste it into your browser.

This should work in most internationally-aware programs, but I just tested on my system (Windows XP x64, only English keyboard activated) and it did not work in anything but Office (no Firefox or OpenOffice.) I assume you need different languages set up in Region and Languages. Sure beats remembering a ton of ALT-xxxx sequences.

Yes I am !!!
Nice to hear that MLC is useful for someone...!!
I like KABOOM !!
I want to see it written for the PreCompiler to make it readable, it would be a great demonstration of what can be done with MLC.

Guillaume.

for sure, i need to make a update of kaboom with the good suggestions i received here, and i'll do it with your precompiler...
