您是否注意到某些语言的顶部有特殊字符，例如字母“o”顶部的冒号看起来像“ö”？这些字符被称为变 音符号^(Umlaut)或重音符号，它是西班牙语^(Spanish)、德语^(German)等某些语言的一部分。真正的问题是如何使用英文键盘^{(English Keyboard)}轻松键入重音字符和特殊字符？

键入重音^(Accented)字符和特殊字符^{(Special Characters)}

很多时候翻译人员需要使用这些字符，并且不能选择使用非英文字符。在本指南中，我们讨论的是免费软件 WizKey ，它可以让您轻松地从标准^(WizKey)英文^(English)键盘输入重音字符和其他特殊字符。

WizKey可让您为重音字符创建键盘快捷键

该软件通过为这些重音字符创建快捷方式来增强键盘功能。它使您可以创建键盘快捷键，以便在需要时快速键入它们。它还维护一个不常用字符或Unicode字符的数据库。因此，您可以使用内置浏览器找到它们，并将其插入到您正在编写它的文档或页面中。

使用此软件的最大优势是您无需更改硬件键盘或在 Windows 10 PC 或笔记本电脑^(Laptop)上安装新键盘。以下是WizKey的功能列表：

• 使用快捷键轻松键入^(Type)é、à、ö 等重音字母和 ©、?、€ 等符号。
• 键入^(Type)任何Unicode字符。字体应该支持它。
• 您可以按名称或类别搜索Unicode字符。^(Unicode)
• 保存^(Save)、备份配置并将其加载到任何其他 PC 上。如果有人创建了旧的键盘映射文件，并且您想将他的快捷键与您的快捷键一起使用，也可以合并旧的键盘映射文件。
• 无需在键盘输入语言之间切换 - 支持西班牙语^{(– Supports Spanish)}、德语^(German)、法语^(French)、捷克语^(Czech)、意大利语^(Italian)、匈牙利语^(Hungarian)、波兰语^(Polish)、罗马尼亚语^(Romanian)、瑞典语^(Swedish)、土耳其语^(Turkish)、葡萄牙语口音和字母
• 您还可以为常用字符、单词或任何其他文本定义自己的键盘映射

该软件带有一些基于流行用法的预定义快捷方式。您需要按Ctrl+后跟反斜杠等字符，然后按字母键。反斜杠替换为单引号表示重音，双引号表示双引号，依此类推。这使得记住事情变得容易。对于大写字母，按住字母键的同时按住 shift 键，或打开Caps Lock。下面^(Below)是列表。

如何配置 WizKey

我发现该软件非常易于使用。它是键盘友好的，这使得高级用户的工作变得非常容易，而且那些进入文档的工作非常容易。如果您是专业人士，您需要使用英文键盘^(Keyboard)轻松键入重音字符和特殊字符。

你可以从这里^(here)下载。^(here.)该软件确实显示带有 30 天试用期，但下载页面明确显示 无限^(Unlimited)试用期。所以不用担心支付屏幕。

These characters are called as Umlaυt or accent mark whіch is part of some of the languages like Spaniѕh, German, and more. The real question iѕ how do you type eaѕily type accented and specіal characters using English Keyboard?

Type Accented and Special Characters

Many times translators need to work with these characters, and using a non-English character is not an option. In this guide, we are talking about a free software WizKey, which lets you easily type accented and other special characters from a standard English keyboard.

WizKey lets you create keyboard shortcuts for accented characters

This software enhances keyboard functionality by creating shortcuts for these accented characters. It lets you create keyboard shortcuts to quickly type them when you need it. It also maintains a database of less frequently used characters or Unicode characters. So you can use the inbuilt browser to find them, and insert it into your document or page where you are writing it.

The biggest advantage of using this software is you don’t need to change either your hardware keyboard or install a new keyboard on your Windows 10 PC or Laptop. Here is the list of features of WizKey:

• Easily Type accented letters like é, à, ö, and symbols like ©, ?, €  using shortcut keys.
• Type any Unicode character. The font should support it.
• You can search for Unicode characters by name or category.
• Save, and backup configuration and load it on any other PC. It is also possible to merge old keymappings file if someone has created, and you want to use his shortcuts along with yours.
• No need to switch between keyboard input languages – Supports Spanish, German, French, Czech, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Swedish, Turkish, Portuguese accents and alphabets
• You can also define your own keyboard mappings for frequently used characters, words or any other text

The software comes with some pre-defined shortcuts based on popular usage. You need to press Ctrl+ followed by characters like a backslash and then press the letter key. The backslash is replaced with a single quote for acute accent, double quote for double acute, and so on. This makes it easy to remember things. For capital letters hold down shift while pressing the letter key, or turn on Caps Lock. Below is the list.

How to configure WizKey

I found the software to be very easy to use. It’s keyboard friendly which makes the job of power users, and those into documentations very easy. If you are a professional, you need this to easily type accented and special characters using English Keyboard.

You can download it from here. The software does show that comes with 30 days trial, but the download page clearly says Unlimited trial period. So don’t worry about the payment screen.
