[oXygen-user] Keyboarding accented characters?

[Mark Wilson]

I use a Czech keyboard, but I do not set it in Oxygen - I set in in windows 
and Oxygen displays the appropriate characters. If you are using Windows, go 
to Control Panel (classic view), Regional and Languages, and select the 
keyboard you want. An icon on the task bar will let you switch between 
keyboards.
