Fwd: Windows 7: Inserting special chars like guillemets/angle quotes with [ALT+NumpadNumber]

 

John C - sorry for the dupe, forgot reply to all.

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Keybindings are an arcane rabbit-hole, especially cross-platform.

For those on windoze I highly recommend getting into AutoHotKey; in fact
now I'm on Linux I really miss it, wish the Linux version had gained a bit
more traction, one of the VERY few things causes me any nostalgia for
windoze.
