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!
