Does anyone know how to do the same thing with entering accents on Russian words on the Russian keyboard without having to open a new program? On the Greek keyboard there is a dead key you can push to make the following vowel carry an accent mark. Any ideas?

I'm not sure dead keys would work with Russian. The last time I checked a lot of the
Cyrillic characters don't have assigned unicode values for the character plus accent, which can make getting accents working difficult. There are unicode combining characters, which can be placed after pretty much anything, and your computer should display them as an accent over the preceding character. They do look a little weird in certain fonts though, Papyrus for example looks odd. U+0301 is the combining acute accent. There is a list of them all here. You can then customize the standard Russian keyboard layout using the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator. Then whenever you wanted to put an accent over a Cyrillic character you would just hit the accent key after the Cyrillic key. If you don't want to go through that this is a custom Cyrillic keyboard layout I used to use a long time ago, but I may have made other customizations to it; I don't really remember. I don't use Windows anymore, so I can't really check to see if I made any other changes. I believe the combining key was RALT+\. You need 7zip to open the file, and run setup.exe to install. EDIT: I don't recall if I made that in Vista or XP either. Don't think enough has changed keyboard wise for it to make a difference, but still...

They're not common at all except for learners of Russian and in books for children. Even the letter ё is usually just written as е because it looks clumsy to have it otherwise. That's why it's so hard to be able to add accents to Russian words when typing, even though it is a critical element in the pronunciation of the word (some vowels have different pronunciations depending on where the stress falls). 1 person has voted this message useful |
