This F11 trick is a typical twisted up English or American solution. It is
unacceptable for Hungarian (and Polish, Czech, ...) typists, too, because
the the accented characters are very frequent in these languages.
[In Spanish the >>'<< means the accent, so it occurs at most once in a
word. In Hungarian the accent is always on the first syllable, the >>'<<,
denotes the length of the vowel, so such words like E'PI'TE'SZ = ARCHITECT
with _more_ vowels are possible.
The best solution is to change the keyboard with a key combination in
flip-flop manner.

You need three virtues in the life:
1. strength - to change the things which are changeable,
2. patience - to endure the things which are unchangeable,
3. wisdom - to distinguish the above two kinds of things.
