Hello, Thanks again. Unfortunately I can find no mention of "character map" in the NetBeans documentation to which I have access. Would it be a Windows matter? I have already ascertained that the usual Windows method for these characters doesn't function in the Netbeans editor.

If you want a character not available in your keyborad layout, you should: - use character map - or keep Alt key down and press the character code (avalaible in character map): for example É (upper e accute) Alt+0201 Make sure that NumLock is on before entering Alt+nnn (from numeric keyboard !)

I need to be able to type accented characters in the editor (java) - characters that survive being saved in files. In the linux version, it was a matter of holding AltGr and a key representing the desired accent, releasing those keys, and then typing a letter. I can't seem to find mention of this function online in stackoverflow etc., and the netbeans mailing list search gave no results (although I could be using it incorrectly.) Thanks.
