That's great! I always forget that one of the best features of key

I have the 'ñ' at the tip of my right little finger ;) That's a
perfect candidate for a leader or as a substitute for backslash :) I
have 'ç' too (its a bit farther on the right, but still reachable with
the little finger without having to actually look at the keyboard). In
addition to this, both ' and ` are good candidates because they do the
same.
Thanks A LOT for your invaluable help.
