I feel compelled to start this discussion because of a very logical and intuitive feature of Windows 10 that I don't think gets enough attention. If your keyboard is set to American English (I haven't tried this with other English keyboards, it may work for them as well), you can type many vowels and consonants with various accent marks. For example:


Ctrl + ~ followed by a = ã

Ctrl + ` followed by e = è

Ctrl + ' followed by i = í

Ctrl + : followed by o = ö

Ctrl + ^ followed by u = û

Ctrl + , followed by c = ç

Ctrl + ~ followed by n = ñ


...and so on. The only downside is that it only works in certain text boxes and not in others. I don't know whether an extensive list of these shortcuts exists, but if it does, where is it? I just happened upon this feature by chance. If there isn't a comprehensive list, perhaps we could compile one here.
