I often have to input diacritics and other characters (more off-Wiki than on), so I have my computer set up to handle these things.
I'm a Linux guy, and preferDebian. I'm sure there are methods similar to the following for Windows or Mac, but I don't know them. As I live in Japan, I use aJapanese keyboard; most of the keys are the same as on an American keyboard, but some puctuation marks are in different places, and there's a button for switching between Roman and Japanese input. For Japanese input I use kkc withFcitx.
To input diacritics, I have made myInsert key into aCompose key—theCompose key is common on European keyboards. To do this, I have added the linekeysym Insert = Multi_key to my~/.xmodmap file and run$ xmodmap ~/.xmodmap at startup. Of course, this could be done with any other key on the keyboard I don't use. TheCompose key makes input of diacritics a snap—for example:
I'm always discovering new uses for theCompose key. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to supportIPA, which I use all the time off-Wiki (and sometimes on-Wiki), I don't know an easy method to input IPA characters, so I guess I'm stuck with copy & paste.
