Hi Dónal, Roger is correct, for an English language input keyboard you should be able to type Option-key u, followed by the letter you want to be accented (e.g., a "u" if you want to type a "u" with an umlaut, or "ü"). Has this changed under Mavericks? Or might you have a different input language keyboard selected?
See, for example, on of my archived posts on typing accented characters with the Option key: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03788.html Cheers, Esther On Dec 14, 2013, at 1:49 AM, Dónal Fitzpatrick <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Roger, > > That’s exactly what I thought, and thanks for confirming.
