Unity and accents

With the release of Unity and the (following) upgrade, I found myself with a problem that I thought to have solved long time ago: how to write accents. It turns out that the use of the compose key (Super/Meta … the one with the Windows logo) is used for the default shortcuts, which you need badly, to have a decent experience with unity..

The good thing is that I’ve discovered the layout UK – with WinKey which provides all the most classic accent like á é ó which can actually do the trick.

On another note I think Unity is pretty a good idea… But I have to use it a bit more to tell the true story..

Update: Actually I found out that on the UK -with WinKey the standard è is of the less used type (there are two: e acute (é) and e grave (è).

Now the last one is very important because is the third (singular) person of the verb to be (Today is a good day, Oggi è una bella giornata), therefore is used a lot.
I found a decent compromise using a US Layout with Italian letters:
Screenshot-Keyboard Layout "Italy US keyboard with Italian letters"

You get the accent with Alt-Gr.

  1. Hello blogger, i found this post on 21 spot in google’s search results.
    I’m sure that your low rankings are caused by high bounce rate.
    This is very important ranking factor. One of the
    biggest reason for high bounce rate is due to
    visitors hitting the back button. The higher your bounce rate the further
    down the search results your posts and pages will end up, so having reasonably low bounce rate is important for improving your
    rankings naturally. There is very useful wordpress plugin which
    can help you. Just search in google for:
