I found this brilliant keyboard layout for OS X that does exactly what you are
seeking.  It allows my Mac to use the simplified method for accents and
diacriticals that I use on my PC (the US-International IME-Keyboard settings).
It works for IPA, too.  And is free...  Nifty.

>Cc: [log in to unmask]

I have been typing IPA symbols (SIL fonts) using a Mac, in both Word
and Dreamweaver since the "Magic Keys" of Mac OS9 --or perhaps even
earlier.  While I see the tilde on the keyboard, and know how to type
an n with a tilde on top with 'option n' for Spanish, I have never
figured out how to put a tilde on a vowel to make it nasal.  The best
I've found is typing shift 1, which gets something that looks like
quotes (") over the vowel.
  I currently use Mac OS10.3.9 and Word 2004 Version 11. 0

Thanks for your help.
Francoise
