Hi Tim!

Yesterday I found out how to make accents over the vowels
by using the <Alt Gr> key on my PC keyboard. Do you have
an <Alt Gr> key on *your* keyboard? In that case, you can
save a lot of work typing in Icelandic and Old Norse texts,
because there is no need to remember all those <Alt> key
letter codes that you've been using thus far.

On my keyboard the <Alt Gr> key is right next to the space bar,
That is, on its right hand side.

Example: When you type á, you probably use <Alt> 0225.
But I only use "<Alt Gr> <´>" and then I simply press the <a> key
immediately afterwards.

Another example: Type é first by pressing <Alt> 0233, and
then try the easier method of typing "<Alt Gr> <´>" first
and then the <e> key immediately afterwards.
