The good old days of fine typography are gone. One more curmudgeon point for me!

Ah I see :) Cheating is baaad :)
Frankly in about 90 percent of cases I need a-umlaut, as ä seems to be quite prevalent in German texts (for some reason my texts don't have many "für"s). I thought the alt-u is for "umlaut" but then what is "e"? Emphasis? And why alt-c is not © but rather ç (while alt-r is ®)? etc etc. Parts are logical, rest is stupid :)

In word I think you can always define multi-character substitution rules, so if you do "'80s" frequently, just create auto-substitution that'll be to your liking, and have one less thing to be annoyed about :)

I think it's more about what's common in English texts... The acute accent and the umlaut sneak in more often than the others.
