Slightly less relevant, but if you use Mac OS X, this type of support is also available generally. For instance, Option+E then E results in é.



But isn't that extremely limited? Does Mac OS X have keyboard shortcuts for entering greek letters or the infinity symbol.


It's absolutely very limited. It has a shortcut for ∞ (Option+5), but "Greek letters" is too large of a set for the space provided.

But being able to do that let me do data entry on documents written in Swedish (which has the additional characters of é, å, ä, ö, and à) after about 10 seconds of ramping up figuring out where the desired keys were.

I'm sure there's a summary somewhere on the interwebz.
