Alt Plus Blue Fn Key!
á
Wheeeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
I finally figured it out!
On my laptop, since I don't have a separate numbers pad, in order to use the keystroke codes from the character map, I have to hold down alt AND the blue Fn key WHILE I type the blue numbers on the alpha pad. I.e. I can't use the number row above the alpha pad for these codes.
Now, is this actually easier or quicker than cutting and pasting? 'Don't know! Probably won't be at first, but I imagine eventually it will, and meanwhile, even if it never will, I'd rather use keystrokes because I'd rather keep typing while writing!

Cut & Paste from Character Map?
áāéíóúá
Having to copy and paste from a character map is RIDICULOUS!!!
The map tells me the key strokes, but I can't get that to work! Arg!

Typing w/ accents and macrons
I'm wondering how I'm going to manage writing Latin exercises here when I need to be able to apply accents and macrons. In the textbook they are applied directly above the vowel. Were I to use ' or ^ they would follow. I'm like to keep italics and bolds in reserve for normal use of them. Hmmm....
Latin Study
Initial lessons in Latin are more challenging than I thought they would be! When I've studied other languages, we started w/ listening to conversations, then speaking them (mostly by rote), then speaking them more freely, then writing, THEN analysing!!!
Wheelock starts w/ analysis!!! Ugh! He assumes the adult beginner would prefer this. Not me! But I'm going to try anyway. I like it that our first verb to conjugate is Laudare! To praise! I can practice using this verb in prayer, praising Abba!
Laudo Te, Abba!!! ('haven't learned the "te" yet; just guessing!)
