Thanks! For the circumflex, it is shift-alt-i-<letter>. It looks like other accents can be done this way.

I bet it's not in the manual!

this trick remember me the tricks for videogames, "A, left,left, up, B,X,X,X,down", and sometimes smashing all buttons on the gamepad also works.

Why don't use the a,z,x,c keys which has no "alt sym" assigned? Write accented capitalized letters is very tricky: shift-alt-e-shift-letter. I'm from Valencia, I've got a dev phone 1, and write in spanish is difficult, because we have a lot of accented words, the grave accent has its key, but its not used in spanish, we need the acute accent.

But, this is better than none.

HOLD DOWN ALL THESE BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME:

ALT
SHIFT
SPACE

If u do it correctly then u should feel it vibrate and then u can type any possible accented letter u could want. Thanks .... loves&kisses ...
