But the quickest and easiest way I&amp;rsquo;ve found is to hold down the &lt;b&gt;Alt Gr&lt;/b&gt; key and type the letter you need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you need a capital letter, just hold down &lt;b&gt;Alt Gr&lt;/b&gt; + &lt;b&gt;Shift &lt;/b&gt;key and type the letter you need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Examples&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Alt Gr&lt;/b&gt; + &lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt; = &amp;aacute;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Alt Gr&lt;/b&gt; + &lt;b&gt;Shift&lt;/b&gt; + &lt;b&gt;a&lt;/b&gt; = &amp;Aacute;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people use the combination &lt;b&gt;Ctrl&lt;/b&gt; + &lt;b&gt;Alt&lt;/b&gt; + letter, but I&amp;rsquo;ve found this problematic on my Windows PC, as it triggers shortcuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us know if these combinations work out for you, or if you&amp;#39;ve a different way you&amp;#39;d like to share. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
