Re: French acccents

[Patrick Schmidt]

Hi Graham,

it's much easier than you think. If you want to enter for example an é, just 
type »´e« or whatever character you want. Some characters (like umlauts) may 
not be directly accessible via a certain key but there are always shortcuts for 
characters. Maybe you should install the software PopChar. After installing it 
you can see a »P« in the left upper corner of the screen (right before the 
apple logo).It won't show you all the shortcuts if you don't register/pay but 
it's still useful.

But you can also use the Special Characters of TeXShop. What's wrong with that? 
Just choose your character and double click on it or use the button »Insert«

Cheers,
Patrick
