> I find myself using the Character Map (or Keyboard Viewer) all the time, because the keystrokes required aren't intuitive, and aren't labelled on my physical keyboard.
I don't know, I've always found the Word keystrokes intuitive (in fact that I was able to discover most of the ones I needed for French and Spanish by learning one and generalizing from there), and my main frustration in that regard is that they aren't standardized for text input in Windows.
As for labelled -- if I have to look at my keyboard to type, that's too much of an efficiency killer to start with.
> Likewise, you can always switch to the specific language's keyboard on iOS, and press and hold is similarly obviated.
Except that its generally not; even with the Spanish keyboard, you still need press-and-hold to get to the vowel accents.
