I'm sure this is a practical problem, but aren't there country-specific=

keyboards available to Finnish, Spanish, Russian and non-English-speaki=
ng
users to avoid precisely these problems?  I grumble every time I have t=

enter some accented characters, but that's just because I do it rarely =

use a US ASCII keyboard.  I suspect Fran=E7ois Pinard has a keyboard wi=
