Input special characters easily<\/h3>\n

Do you find yourself often needing the little accents and doo-dads which appear above certain letters in certain words, maybe in your writing, posts or emails? Would you like to be able to easily put the \u00e9 into your elan, the \u00e0 into your voila, or the \u00ea in your crepe? How about a \u00a3 or \u20ac sign? All these and many more can be readily available compliments of a great little freeware app called Holdkey.<\/p>\n

Holdkey<\/a> is a Windows program that makes it easy to type characters with accents.
\nNo more hassle with alt codes or other time consuming methods to create characters like : \u00e9 \u00e0 \u00f8 \u00fc \u20ac \u00df \u00f1 \u00ef \u00e7 \u00f6 \u0119 \u011f and many many more. Holdkey runs in the background and works with almost all programs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
