Thumbs up Umlauts are here!!

Umlauts are here now!.

I had someone write a custom modification for the site so that Umlauts will be available to those of us with English language keyboards without having to resort to the Character Map.

They are available via a drop down list in the upper part of the text entry areas.

Re: Umlauts are here!!

Good addition Jim! But you could expand it to include Å å Æ æ Ø ø ß so you include common Swedish/Danish/Norweigian/German letters that isn't included in a "normal" keyboard.
