Zømbîè Këýs - ¡Bring Dead Keys to Life!

Description

Entering European languages (which include diacritics (accented characters, diaeresis, umlauts, etc.), ligatures, the Euro sign, etc.) or Heavy Metal Umlauts into Mozilla applications using an English keyboard doesn't have to be a pain any more! This extension implements Microsoft's Keyboard shortcuts for international characters (I've added shortcuts for € and ¢). It addresses Mozilla Bug #270439 (WinWord/TextPad dead keys are not supported).
