<pre>Hi Alex,
Perhaps no one has bothered to mention it since your earlier bug report,
but it would be a useful feature to me nonetheless. And I think it would also
be useful to a number of us worldwide who must regularly type alternating in
two or more languages. Yes, I could buy a Spanish keyboard, though it would be
irritating to have to carry it around with my MacBook Pro. The Shift-Number Key
feature is available on almost every other program that I use, including note
taking, CAD, etc. etc. so I surmise that it really can't be that hard to
implement.
I can use Libre Office regardless, but in order to insert the properly
accented foreign character I must open the character viewer, find and highlight
the properly accented character (I have them all, upper and lower case, saved
as favorites to save time) and double click it to insert. This is an arduous
process as opposed to the Shift-Number Key method, which I find to be quite
usable. FWIW, it also functions similarly on my iPhone, i.e. the ! key held
down brings up a dialog that allows one to select ยก
I hope you'll consider adding this Apple suggested feature.
Best Regards, J.</pre>
