Actually, I don't want to create accented characters directly. Like the Graffiti engine, I want to create them as a two-stroke process. Picture the user making a regular "a," for example, and then making a slash "/" and they get an a-with-a-slash over it. Just like the old Graffiti way did it. I was hoping that the OS would just take care of this automatically, and I still think it might, given that the correct keyDown events are generated in succession. Do you know of how to do it this way? Thanks.
