Re: Alternative Orthography. Yes, another one.



Please keep in mind that I didn't read the rest of this thread and
have no idea what people were suggesting using accents for.

Look at the preferences dialog.  PuTTY has builtin support for
accents even if you don't map the OS keyboard to it.  And,
if you use screen on the other side of your putty, you can hit your
screen key and then ^V and then type a digraph (e.g. for me I can
type ^P^Ve' to get a é).

Furthermore, on all modern OSes it is trivial to map the OS keyboard
to it.

Unneccesary.  Google.com.
