[OT] TeXShop and accents

Hi. Sorry for the off-topic but you may know the answer...I tried to google a bit but I didn't find an anything.

Is there a way to tell TeXShop that when I type " á " it automatically convert it to " \'a "   ?  I know some other latex editors do that...but I didn't find a way to do it in TeXShop.

For the moment the only idea is a bash script that using sed or tr do it...

Thanks

Mariano

maybe you don't have to do that. You can probably use a combination of
language package and the \inputenc macro to set the character
encoding. This allows me to conveniently type German texts with all
the umlauts: ÄÖÜäöüß. :-)

Best,

You can use GNU recode http://www.gnu.org/software/recode/

Mariano,
you could try something like that:

\documentclass[a4paper, french]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
