Keyboard shortcuts for Foreign Languages

James Granger said: I was wondering whether the programmers for Indexing are going to be able to restore the "keyboard shortcuts" to the special characters, for example...in Portuguese. When we were doing desktop-indexing, I could use "c-crtl-," to produce the commonly used letter called "c-cedilia" There were similar techiques to add the tilda, the agudo, or the grave accents. Now, in web-indexing, you have to stop typing and use the mouse pointer and a look-up table each time one of these characters is needed

For example, on a Windows machine with a numeric keypad and the standard English keyboard layout, I can hold down the "alt" key and type 0231 on the keypad to get ç (c-cedilla).
