I don't really know where this would go in the "real" forum, so I'll start it here.

How do you guys type your conlangs? I can't find any programs the recognize the combinations of keystrokes I have to use to produce the unusual letters. I have to type everything I say into the Keyboard Layout Creator's test window and then copy it into my browser. Is there any better way to do this?

If you use Windows's US-International keyboard, it gives you a lot of diacritics (but not all): if you type 'a it comes out á, but 's is just 's.

I type mine in Word and copy and paste. Very Happy Pain in the butt, haha.

Same here, except the Word bit which I don't use. I'm using ShortKeys Lite to automatically convert "sq-" and "zq-" to "š" and "ž", but the program doesn't handle Unicode, so for all other strange letters I have to copy and paste.

Wait, doesn't Word have that function in-built, to automatically replace a certain string?

It has never worked for me. I got tired of scrolling through the symbol menu. That's what led me to make a new keyboard layout.
