Right-alt (a.k.a. Alt Gr) only works with the keyboard set to US Intl,
which might have other undesired effects (like turning some
punctuation marks into dead keys).

I don't much use Windows, so I don't have a good setup for typing
non-ASCII characters on it.  I tend to resort to the Character Map
utility for anything except the characters useful for the Spanish
language, whose numpad codes I've memorized (161='¡', 191='¿',
225='á', 233='é', 237='í', 241='ñ', 243='ó', 250='ú', 252='ü').
