AllChars provides a quick, easy-to-remember way of creating accents like and special characters like 1/2 in most Windows programs. AllChars emulates the *nix Compose key on Windows.
Works flawlessly with Windows 7 64-bit. I recommend changing the configuration to use AltGr (the right alt key) as the compose key. This is similar to european keyboards. You can then input characters such as ñ by entering <AltGr> + <~> + <n> or é by inputting <AltGr> + <'> + <e>. The AltGr key becomes a meta shift key that toggles deadkey behavior of other keys to enable combinations to produce diacritical marks, accent characters, and more.
Very useful for proper spelling of English words like rôle, mediæval, façade, pâté, naïveté, subpœna, et al. Perfect for occasional use of e.g. French or German words or Greek letters without the hassle of searching character maps or compromising accurate spelling. Excellent.
Brings most of the benefits of the Linux "compose" key approach to entering accented characters to Windows. Makes living in Sweden but using a UK keyboard much easier.
