Dieter N Vercáriâ | What OS are you running? If it's Windows, have you considered an applet like this one?
http://quickkeydotnet.sourceforge.net/
I have it installed on one of the computers I use at work (although it's not usually running) and it seems to work pretty well. I haven't installed it at home because I don't want to confuse my wife. :)

Thanks. I'm running Linux on all of my computers, and the keyboards are set for the needs of programmers, i.e., the accent keys do not add diacritics to the vowels (as they would do on a German typewriter). On the other hand the keyboards' layout is German, so I can type the umlauts and the sharp s without much ado.

Pah, I can do that without any extra trouble at all but I can't stop the rain from falling. On my Mac at home all this is of course trivial except for the cursed Þorn... well, my Mac's no better at stopping the rain.

Dieter N Vercáriâ | > All those diacritics are nice to look at, but having to type them makes my fingers bleed... I have to type the html codes as my keyboard does not support anything that goes beyond the local umlauts and the kinky ß.
There are of course two sets of diacritics: the ones which indicate a difference in the pronunciation of the letter ("ö", "ä", "ç", "î", "û" etc) and thus which show a stress accent ("á", "ê", "ù" etc.). You can probably leave the stress accents out and the word will be exactly the same to type. Any diacritic which isn't on this list can be left out if your fingers hurt.
Before abolishing the stress accents altogether, though, we would have to reform the language to regularise where the stress in the word goes. I hear that the Royalists are discussing a proposal of that type, but they haven't got an agreed text then - which means, perhaps we could fill the gap. Tomás made a suggestion along these lines way back when, which I still think is a good one - I wonder what s:reu Asmoûr thinks?
In any case, the diactrics of any sort don't bother me thanks to my shiny Linux international keyboard. ;-)
