For the insert Symbol plugin you can also define your own shortcuts. So
if you find yourself using \Egrave a lot you can edit the config file
and define e.g. \Eg or even \E to insert this symbol.
I considered also supporting \nnn to insert values numerically, bit
decided against it because I can
Hi André,
I'm aware of that. I exactly described my problem in my previous
message. The ALT+key combination works in every program except
Zim-Wiki, so it's obvious that there's an issue with it. :)

Zim is a Python application that depends completely on the GTK+ framework
for interacting with the display and input devices, as well as a few other
things. I don't think Zim does anything special with GTK+'s keyboard input
functions, so the problem may be in GTK+ on Windows, not with Zim itself.
Also, don't forget that Zim has its own typing shortcut for non-keyboard
characters. The manual says you can type
backslash SYMBOL-NAME space
to get most of the named special characters from HTML. See this list:

put it in your to-do list accordingly.
I wasn't aware of the other typing shorcut. Thanks! That feature
totally solves my problem!

Hi,
if I try to type a special character using ALT + (code) on the numeric
pad, nothing happens. For instance, I would like to add accented
capital E (È) or curly double quotes and I can't.
Any hints?
Thanks

It doesn't work on Windows 7 either...
But you can use
