Should have bought a Mac: Umlaut-u (ü) is Alt-u-u, umlaut-anything is
alt-u-anything. All the basic euro-accents are that way, associated
with their most common (in English) letter. Cedilla is alt-c ç, the
'elan' accent alt-e-e é, circumflex is alt-i- î, Alt-a is å, alt-o is
ø, alt-n-n is ñ, etc. (Oh, I forgot to do alt-u-o: ö. Alt-u-i is ï.)
These ALL from memory, no stinking charts needed! This keyboard
input method has been there since the beginning. (To be fair, so
has the alt-numeric input of the PC, though I find the numbers
completely unmnemonic.)
For the less common ones I also have to use the chart application,
but you can go surprisingly far without it.
