SD> Sometimes number of keys in not enough.
On some European keyboards the right Alt key is labelled "Alt Gr". With the proper keyboard driver it is used to give an alternate meaning to some keys. For example with my Dutchkeyboard driver, the combination of the right Alt key with the 5 on the top row is a Euro sign. Right Alt + m = µ Right Alt + s = ß
Of course, ome can still run into some symbol that is not covered that way. Then there is no other way than to just enterthe code manually...

Indeed, not convenient. Especially if seldom used. The note with the special codes always gets lost...

The idea was to cover all characters in use. Past and present. It does indeed seem an overkill. OTOH, it does not bother me. I just use what I need.
