Fed up with having to always go to Character Map to put an acute accent abov.e letters such as e, i and a? Well, there's an easier way to do it. Simply hold down the Alt Gr key (the second 'alt' button on your keyboard, usually to the right of the spacebar) and press the appropriate letter. Note also that holding down Shift at the same time as Alt Gr before pressing a character key will give accented uppercase letters.
