I would like to suggest another approach to this that is much more intuitive
and quicker to use. 

When composing an email in Google mail, or a note in MS OneNote on my Macbook
pro I can press and hold a key to get a popup of accented options for that
character. For example, hold down the "e" key and 7 accented options appear in
the popup. Select the one you want with the mouse and job done. This has a
number of benefits:

- no need to remember difficult keyboard combinations
- no need to use the insert menu, which is slow and frustrating
- no need to do search and replace

Would it be possible to implement this approach in Open Office for both Mac and
Windows users?
