How to define shortcut for accented character?

Does anybody know of an easy way to define a keyboard shortcut to procude an accented character?
More specifically, I would like to define Alt-O to produce ō .
I have heard of Ukelele, but that seems a it complicated to me.
Best,
Gabriel.

There are several approaches to using diacritical marks in general, your case included:
- to write currently in a certain language, which uses that char or those chars; e.g. ā (a macron) is frequent in Lithuanian or, as in your case, to transcribe Japanese words (or Latin vowel length, for example)
- to write occasionally, e.g. in a linguistic paper written in English, and you have to quote, from time to time, something like in silvā multae bestiae sunt (Latin) ‘there are many beasts in the forest’.
a macron is available if you activate Lithuanian keylayout, but for sure you are not familiar with it. The alternative is to use a keylayout for linguists or dialectologists like my US Academic, which is exactly for such use. You mau find this incomfortable though, if you frequently need this, and using dead keys may be cumbersone (in fact, it isn’t, is an issue of practising it).
Another solution is indeed UKELELE, you may create your custom keylayout, perhaps of Programmers type: option/alt key + a = ā [a macron] etc.
There is a lot of theory on this issue, see my web pages (in English)

  • How to make a keyboard shortcut for this character: ⌘

    I am growing very fond of the Character Palette, but there are some characters I like to use allot, and it's becoming a nuisance opening the whole window just to insert a ⌘. I was thinking maybe there is a way to make a keyboard shortcut for this character, just like option-shift-K creates . I opened the keyboard viewer and was thinking maybe I could drag the character into an empty space to create a combo...but it's not letting me. Is there any way to do this?

    This is a feature Apple should definitely add customization to on OS X.
    You can make custom keyboard layouts that include any characters you want using Ukelele.

    I doubt Apple is going to incorporate this into OS X, but you can suggest it here:

  • How 2 define alias for WD Component / Application

    Hi all,
    There are methods in IWDDeployableObject to get WD Component / Application (WDDeploableObjectPart) by alias.
    But how to define alias for them? Where should definition be placed and what is the format? Could anyone share working example or point to related documentation?
    VS

    Noufal & Bharathwaj,
    Probably there is a confusion here: HTTP aliases are related only to corresponding service, and affects how URL is composed / interpreted.
    On other hand, aliases I mentioned are related to  deployment service (in this case: lookup deployable object part by alias). By the way, they cover both WD applications and <b>components</b> (probably component interfaces and more).

    Hi,
    Here is the command you can write to the batch:
    To disable the interface, you'd then run:
    netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection” admin=DISABLED
    To enable the interface, you'd then run:
    netsh interface set interface name=“Local Area Connection” admin=ENABLED
    Note to find your  network interface, you can run
    netsh interface show interface command.

    3-5      |  30
    6-10    |   40
    So anybody pls help me in this problem.

    Is there any other way to define ranges?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi,
    I think Michael is asking how you would define the Filter in the Coherence Console not in Java code.
    In the Console you prefix the method name for the filter with an exclamation mark.
    In your example you see this
    Map (jk):  filter f Equals getUserId 'Master'...when you press enter you see the toString of the Filter...
    EqualsFilter(.getUserId(), Master)Using an exclamation mark you get a Key Filter like this
    Map (jk): filter f Equals !getUserId 'Master'...when you press enter you see the toString of the Filter...
    EqualsFilter(KeyExtractor(extractor=.getUserId()), Master)...which you can see has a KeyExtractor.

  • Shortcuts for the character palette

    Is it possible to have a shortcut for the characters in the character palette?

    I recommend this Applescript:
    do shell script "open /System/Library/Components/CharacterPalette.component/Contents/SharedSupport/Ch arPaletteServer.app"
    Save it as "Application" to launch with a doubleclick. From the Applescript menu it can just be a compiled script.
    You can also launch it from Terminal with just the shell command, if you go that way.

    The closest I know is assigning "Move focus to the menu bar" in the Preferences a keyboard shortcut and then navigating with the arrow keys (letters may also work to highlight, but not to expand in and of themselves once the focus is on the menu bar).

  • How to defining mimetypes for project?

    Which is the way to define mimetypes for a project?

    Stephen,
    Now I know that setting this signal is not possible for this resource.
    But I always thought that the less threads in process are the less CPU consumption is, which means that not all cpu-shares are used?
    So if I have the case that application server has a control loop which
    is responsible for finding the optimal size of thread pool, then it can rely on SIGXRES which indicates that cpu-shares threshold is exeeded and size of thread pool shouldn't be increased.
    Anyway if signals are not supported threre is a possibility to analyze syslog messages which for me is unconfortable.
    I appreciate your help!

  • BMM - Decision criteria on how to define LTS for a multi-source object

    I am curious to know what others use as their decision criteria when determining how to setup a BMM logical table that has multiple sources that map to multiple columns in the logical table.
    For example,
    If you have defined logical table Dim - Customer in the BMM that has 4 fields:
    Dim - Customer
    Customer Id
    Customer Name
    Customer Address
    Customer Phone
    The sources for this logical table from the physical layer are:
    CUSTOMER (all customers exist here)
    CUSTOMER_ADDRESS (A customer may or may not have an address, but can have only one address to simplify this conversation)
    CUSTOMER_PHONE (A customer may or may not have a phone, but can have only one phone to simplify this conversation)
    Field Mappings from Logical Table to Physical Table are:
    Dim - Customer
    Customer Id - CUSTOMER
    Customer Name - CUSTOMER
    Customer Address - CUSTOMER_ADDRESS
    Customer Phone - CUSTOMER_PHONE
    How would you setup the logical table and LTS's for this object in the BMM knowing the following requirements?:
    1. The Address and Phone tables should only be joined in when fields from those tables are used in a report/query.
    2. Since a customer may or may not have an address or phone, the BMM table needs to be setup such that adding those fields into a query will not filter all customers that dont have data for those fields, i.e. display null if it does not exist.
    My initial approach for resolving this would be to set it up as follows:
    A single Logical Table Source: LTS_CUSTOMER
    Three Tables added to the LTS:
    CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER_ADDRESS, CUSTOMER_PHONE
    Two joins defined for the three tables:
    CUSTOMER - CUSTOMER_ADDRESS (LEFT OUTER JOIN)
    CUSTOMER - CUSTOMER_PHONE (LEFT OUTER JOIN)
    Issues/Questions:
    - The problem I have run into is that any query that uses Customer Id or Customer Name still causes a join to the CUSTOMER_ADDRESS and CUSTOMER_PHONE table even though I didn't use a field from those tables. I assume this is because OBIEE things that any query to that Logical Table using that LTS has to query it as the LTS is defined (so all three tables are joined in)
    - Is there a way around this? If so, is it to specify separate LTS tables for the Logical Table Dim - Customer? If you do this, then there is no way to specify a LEFT OUTER JOIN and the query will just default to what is specified in the Physical Layer as an inner join.
    - Curious as to what peoples thoughts are in general for how to decide whether to specifiy multiple sources in a single LTS or just add multiple sources to the Logical Table and the decision criteria for going either way.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot for the example, that fixed the problem.
    I've been reading the NSAPI programmers guide several times now and I was under the impression that you should either use <object> or <client>, never thought about this approach. Now when I re-read it is makes sense, but wasn't very clear at first.
    I think I'll e-mail Sun to suggest an addition of the <Object> tag in their <Client> tag example (http://docs.sun.com/source/817-6252/npgobjcn.html#wp1045056) to make things a little more clear.
    Thanks again, now I can finally implement the final configuration settings and plan for the actual switch later this evening.
