That method of entering accents seems really backwards to me. Why not a Compose key?


It has a compose key already in Option; this is more discoverable. (or can you figure out how to write ē easily on a US keyboard?)


Agreed. I don't have Lion installed yet, but in SL I can enter "ä" by typing option-U, then A. The article makes it sound like the new behavior can be disabled so I'm hoping that means the current behavior, which I'm very happy with, still works!


It does.
