Life Pro Tip! - Lemmy.zip

You kid, but as an Canadian Anglophone, this is what I do any time I have to send an email to someone with a French name with an accented character.

Yes, I know the special character menu is a thing, but I have shit to do.

Try this instead if you have a number pad on your keyboard:

Hold alt and type 0233 and then release the alt key.

For my favourite, type : then hold alt and type 0254. 😛

I have not had a number pad on my keyboard for some time :( I remember this arcanr magic
I believe you can do this with the on-screen keyboard! If you’re using Windows, I think that can be accessed with super+u (but I haven’t used Windows in a long time so I apologize if I misremembered or if this is no longer accurate).
I’ll give this a shot!
