I know what you mean. It takes time and effort to put the software or
macros together. One then wonders if the effort is worth preventing the
minimal hassle each day, especially since getting accustomed to it makes
things that much painless.

making the character map shortcut more accessible than at
Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map. ;)
