How to insert accent marks and special characters.This Shift option only works for those shortcuts utilizing Shift, as listed below. Alternatively, after pressing the shortcut keys together, release all but Shift, then press the desired letter to create an uppercase accent letter.

I would appreciate if someone from CS could confirm if an actual solution is being looked into, and when we can expect it to be issued. ZOS broke something that worked (again) and it's on them to fix it. This, for me, is unacceptable for the reasons stated above. I'm posting this because I fear ZOS are trying to take the easy route and merely offer character name changes to affected people.
