How to type accents

I seem unable to type accents in Firefox using Windows XP ALT shortcuts. I've had to use a utility ( http://www.typeaccentpro.com ) which works fine but I would still like to know what the problem is with my Firefox. IE and Google seem OK.

How to type accents on letters (the old way)

Typing accents on letters (á, ë and ø) is handy on Yosemite if you just needs 2 or 3. If you have to type a French text it's a ****. It's slowing down typing big time.
Is there a way to get the old way or Windows way back? That is: typing a ' and an a for á and " followed by an e for ë.

Yes, go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and use the plus and add buttons to activate the keyboard called US International PC. Then choose that in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

How to type accented characters?

Somehow I discovered if I type Option-e,e I get e with +accent ague+ (thought not in this text box obviously).
*Where is the list of the rest of them?*
I don't want to use the Character Palette if I can help it since it's pretty tedious when I type a lot of them. I'd just as soon learn the keyboard shortcuts (as I have done with Windows US-International keyboard).
Thanks for any insight.
Eric

option+e followed by a letter puts an accent over that letter as you've discovered.
like this: á é ó
to see the other ones go to system preferences->international->input menu and check the box to show keyboard viewer in input menu. now activate keyboard viewer from the input menu and press option. you'll see where other accents are. they will be highlighted orange.
alternatively, in the same input menu in system preferences check the box to show a language that you are interested in that has those accented characters. then choose that language from the input menu in the menu bar and type using that language layout. the keyboard viewer will again tell you where which letters are.

How to type symbols, accents and tilde in LR text fields?

As a photog in an area with a huge Hispanic population, I need to type accent marks, tildes,etc in caption and other text fields. Does LR support this? If not now, when? Would appreciate immediately response since my Cuban client will think I am culturally ignorant to a staggering degree if I get his name wrong -- and remember, without the correct accents or tildes, non-English words are considered egregiously misspelled. many thanks.

How to Use the United States-International Keyboard
Adding the United States-International Keyboard Layout
To add the United States-International keyboard layout, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Under Pick a category, click Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options.
3. Under or pick a Control Panel icon, click Regional and Language Options.
The Regional and Language Options dialog box appears.
4. On the Languages tab, click Details.
The Text Services and Input Languages dialog box appears.
5. Under Installed services, click Add.
The Add Input language dialog box appears.
6. In the Input language list, click the language that you want. For example, English (United States).
NOTE: When you use the United States-International keyboard layout, you should also use an English language setting.
7. In the Keyboard layout/IME list, click United States-International, and then click OK.
8. In the Select one of the installed input languages to use when you start your computer list, click Language name - United States-International (where Language name is the language that you selected in step 6), and then click OK.
9. In the Regional and Language Options dialog box, click OK.
Notice that the Language bar appears on the taskbar. When you position the mouse pointer over it, a ToolTip appears that describes the active keyboard layout. For example, United States-International.
10. Click the Language bar, and then click United States-International on the shortcut menu that appears.
The United States-International keyboard layout is selected.
Creating Extended Characters
The United States-International keyboard layout assigns new functions to the right ALT key (the ALT key on the right side of the keyboard). Use the right ALT key in combination with other keys to create extended characters.
The following table illustrates characters that you can create by using the combination of the right ALT key plus another key, as well as those that you can create by using the right ALT key plus the SHIFT key plus another key:
Key on United States keyboard Character Made with Right ALT+Key SHIFT+Right ALT+Key
1 i ¹
2 ² N/A
Creating International Characters
When you press the APOSTROPHE (') key, QUOTATION MARK (") key, ACCENT GRAVE (`) key, TILDE (~) key, ACCENT CIRCUMFLEX key, or CARET (^) key, nothing appears on the screen until you press a second key. If you press one of the letters designated as eligible to receive an accent mark, the accented version of the letter appears. If you press the key of a character that is not eligible to receive an accent mark, two separate characters appear.
In other words, when you use the US-International keyboard layout, Windows automatically accents letters that customarily receive an accent but does not automatically accent letters that do not customarily receive an accent.
The following table illustrates the accented characters that you can create:
Press this key Then press this key Resultant character
' (APOSTROPHE) C Ç
'(APOSTROPHE) e, y, u, i, o, a é, ý, ú, í, ó, á
"(QUOTATION MARK) e, u, i, o, a ë, ü, ï, ö, ä
`(ACCENT GRAVE) e, u, i, o è, ù, ì, ò
~(TILDE) o, n õ, ñ
^(CARET) e, u, i, o, a ê, û, î, ô, â

I cannot type accent marks in firefox 4

Firefox 4, Mac OX 10.6.7
I Firefox 3 I could type an accent mark using the US keyboard by
pressing the option key. For example to type é, I would type option e followed by e.
Now in Firefox 4,the only way to type the accent marks is to use the French keyboard. Is there a fix for this or is this a bug in Firefox 4?

Such a composition of characters is usually handled by the OS and Firefox shouldn't have effect on it.

Firefox freezes when you type accented Spanish in Google Docs

If you try to type accented Spanish characters into Google Docs, the current Firefox window display will freeze and will not change - although you can still close it. Other windows are not affected.

How are you typing the characters?
Does it also happen if you use the compose key (compose ~ and n: ñ) or paste such a character?

How many types of inbound process r there

how many types of inbound process r there for a inbound idoc?

Hi,
Creating an Inbound Process Code
The inbound process code, that is, its attributes, indicates how an inbound IDoc is processed. A process code has the following attributes:
·        Processing type (for example, should the inbound function module be called immediately, or should a workflow or work item be started?);
Standard: "ALE, function module called directly"
·        Name of inbound function module;
·        Error processing attributes (objects and events; see the section on objects, and so on, for error handling);
·        Application object type used for ALE links;
¡        the object type created or changed by the inbound function module. Example: An inbound ORDERS IDoc, containing a customeru2019s purchase order, creates a customer order in the receiving SAP System. Here the application object type is BUS2032, the object type for customer orders in the BOR (Business Object Repository).
·        The application event to be triggered (dealt with in the section on advanced techniques) is not generally used.
For an example, have a look at the process code MATM used for material master data.

How many types of mappings in sap xi

hi,
how many types of mappings in sap xi,what are there can u explain me
bye
phenix

hi suresh,
There are 4 types of mapping in XI
1. Graphical
2. XSLT
3. java
4. ABAP.
There is no hard and fast rule for using the mapping techniques. But, I will try to put things in the right perspective for you.
Graphical Mapping is used for simple mapping cases. When, the logic for your mapping is simple and straight forward and it does not involve any complex logic.
Java and XSLT mapping are used when graphical mapping cannot help you.
When the choice is between Java And XSLT, XSLT is simpler than java mapping and easier. But, it has its drawbacks. One among them being that you cannot use Java APIs and Classes in it. There might be cases in your mapping when you will have to perfrom something like a properties file look up or a DB lookup, such scenarios are not possible in XSLT and so, when you want to use some specific Java API's you will have to go for Java Mapping.
Java Mapping uses 2 types of parsers. DOM and SAX. DOM is easier to use with lots of classes to help you create nodes and elements, but , DOM is very processor intensive.
SAX parser is something that parses your XML one after the other, and so is not processor intensive. But, it is not exaclty easy to develop either.
For further info on each of the mapping, refer to these links,
Graphical Mapping,
