Now you just need Bluesky search to work so you can find it again

Protip: install the power toys for windows and it will set up a thing where you can hold the letter you want and then press space, and select any accented variation

i just know what the alt code is from muscle memory from being in french immersion have you tried that

I hadn't before, but if they turn the country around with these lefties I might have to give it a shot

I use ALT-130. For other alt codes, Googling usually works, and they haven't disabled right-click copy. Try it: www.google.com/search?q=e+w...
e with acute accent - Google Searchwww.google.com

an ANSI keyboard plus a good keyboard layout is the better solution to this particular issue, though

Are you suggesting I buy a keyboard

I know it's weird advice but yes lmfao; diacritics are more painful with any ANSI layout almost regardless of what you do to mitigate it, and an ISO*-oriented layout gives you more room to work with *I meant to say ISO in my other skeet

theres a reason that it's pretty much exclusively the USA—which, for better or for worse, does not really need to use diacritics—almost exclusively uses ANSI keyboards, whereas ISO keyboards are the standard in Europe & Canada

In the Netherlands, we use both. ISO is more common for desktop keyboards and ANSI for laptops. Although you will sometimes find keyboards that combine the two. Like my Logitech G815 that has a long L-Shift (common with ANSI) and a large ISO-style Enter. We use US International as our KB layout.

ok yeah I'm not gonna be buying a keyboard to solve this problem lmfao
