Thanks for that!

It certainly is far from obvious that they are dead keys. Guess the UI designers were on holiday that week!

There's not a hint of a visible clue that it's a row of accent characters or dead keys; half those characters are regular text characters, and there are so many ways to make accenting visibly obvious. Even just a message bar saying "press another key to apply this accent to it", if the graphic designers aren't around to make pretty glyphs

I haven't remapped the keyboard yet. On the whole it's not too bad as it is, except for the strain I'm getting in my right hand, and the uncomfortable feeling that I'm wearing out the Cursor Down key already by scrolling down these long forum pages...

I'm wondering if the two physical keys hiding under the space bar are electrically separate..
