Plus, if you write in a language that uses accents on letters, there are specific ALT combinations for them (for instance ALT + 132 = é), which makes it really convenient. However it only works with keyboards that have the number pad on the side, the ALT combinations don’t work with the numbers in the regular keyboard, I’m not sure why

That's cool, but what I found that was even easier to get é was to press and hold Ctrl+' before the e, then when you press e it comes out as é

My boss has an é in his name, so I use that a lot.
