AllChars : Java Glossary

A free program for Windows that makes it easy to key accented letters and special characters without a European keyboard. You tap Ctrl and let go. Then click an easy-to-remember two-key sequence, e.g. 'e for é. It generates the Unicode key, not the equivalent HTML entity. The program comes as a *.msi file that installs a *.exe file. It installs no icon on the deskop or menu entry. It is permanently resident in the task bar on the bottom right of the screen. It works on all standard Windows applications.

To install it, create a directory X:\Program Files\AllChars and extract all the files in the zip distributable into it. Then run allchars.exe and to have it autostart put a shortcut to it in the C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup menu directory.

When it runs, it pops up no window. It does not echo anything to the screen until you have finished typing the abbreviation for it.

You can also use it to create your own shortcuts. You type the the abbreviation, and it echos back the string, like similfied SuperKey of DOS days.
