Thanks. Will be useful but I'd love to be able to do this in all edit
fields.

One thing, is it possible to let me define hot keys to paste specific
characters? I'd love to be able to put in an e acute or something by
pressing alt something and then the letter e or something like that. Can
that be made customizable in the define hotkeys?
One thing that's not very well-known is that some parts of Windows already
allow that. You can't do it in Notepad or other editbox-based
applications, but anything with a RichEdit does it, and Word does it. Try
hitting ctrl-apostrophe and then e, for example. You should get an e with
an acute accent (é). You can also use ctrl-double quote
(shift-ctrl-apostrophe on a US keyboard layout) to get a diaeresis or
umlaut, ctrl-backquote to get a grave accent, ctrl-tilde
(shift-ctrl-backquote) to get the Spanish and Portuguese characters with
tildes, and ctrl-caret (shift-ctrl-6) to get a circumflex. I'm not sure
how to get carons or breves, and now I can't find back where I originally
learned about this stuff.
