As i know the Alt Gr + vowel only works MS windows for certain locales
(aka region settings). The orginal message came from someone who i
would geuss is American from their email address, and as far as i know
this wont work if the locale is set to en-US. Please correct me if im
wrong.
This came up in conversation the other day. If AltGr+vowel does work then `+vowel should give you an
If you want a accent in the other direction (the character ` is postioned just below
the Esc key).
(None of these seem to work with the old version of KDE+FreeBSD
which im using right now)
So the orginal answer of Insert -> Symbol will definately work and the
other suggestions might work, depenging on what Operating System you use
and how it is setup.
