Just curious-- does that mean you can type a diaeresis over a "g" or "n" if you so desire? I use US-Intl keyboard, which as you probably know makes the quote, tilde and shift-6 keys dead; but it's just a substitute for using Alt - Keypad, and one is limited to the standard accented characters. OK for the usual European languages, but not for way-out conlanging. I can see how someone might want to do more complex things in a word-processing program (I had to make "w" with a tilde once), but it wouldn't help much in email or, probably, html.
