Re: question: remapping accented character

Thanks.  I hadn't thought of your suggestions, but they don't do what  
I need.  I will be typing ordinary French words or names (which  
contain diacriticals very frequently), so I want to use ordinary  
keyboard strokes.

For instance, I would like type "Léa" and get "L{{\'e}}a" in the  
buffer, or type "François" and get "Fran{{\,c}}ois" in the buffer.    
A word might even contain several diacriticals, e.g. typing "déjà"  
should insert "d{{\'e}}j{{\`a}}".

The abbrev feature doesn't work because I would have to create  
abbreviations for every possible word.  The shortcut is not helpful  
either because it causes too much extraneous typing.

                                                        Marc
