I know you don't use Windows, but there is a Windows program called
AllChars
which let you enter special characters easily (such as Ctrl c o produce a
(c)
and so on - the Ctrl key is pressed, then released, that's why I didn't
type
Ctrl+c o). Works in every application. Maybe there is something like it
for
Linux?

Dear John,

The Windows app isn't necessary - inspired by our correspondence, I decided
to do some further exploration and found, to my great joy that on my
keyboard, the process «Alt Gr + Shift + the diaresis key» × 2 gives «ˇ», and
«Alt Gr + Shift + the diaresis key» and then «c», «s», «z», or «ř» gives
«č», «š», «ž», and «ř» respectively. Hallelujah !...

Thanks a lot !

Henri
