Hi people!

I am Pierros Arkoudakos and i come from Greece.
I have made a small program, primarily for my language (Greek), but since my girlfriend is from Poland i made an addition for the polish language too.

After some requests, i added support for German and Croatian.

The program is small (~350KB). And free!
What it does, is to enable you to produce the "special polish letters" by double-pressing the "normal" ones.

For example: if you want to get the 'ę' you just double-press the 'e' !

It does not replace the "traditional" way, it just adds a new functionality.
It does not require installation. Unzip and run.
There is an option to autostart it with windows and if you don't like it, you erase it!

Note: to get the 'ź' double-press the 'x' !

Comments are welcomed...

get always the latest version.

double-pressing

Is that like the double click on a mouse, so if you wait a moment longer, it will give ee instead of ę?

Just FYI,,,,

there are no capital letters in Polish Alphabet and NO words ever begins with such characters :

Ą Ę Ń nor any word begins with lower case ą ę ń

I downloaded it but couldn't get it to actually work so removed it...

No probs with viruses or anything like that, I think it's just a crappy program!

Hi Pierros and any other reader who happens to come here,

I posted something in favour of your useful little program PiBoard which I downloaded a few hours ago and described how it worked having the not so savvy computer user in mind, too.

Go to
polishforums.com/general-language-17/polish-keyboard-best-27165/

to read it if you're interested.

There are six in the quote above!

This program sounds a good idea - I'll download it tomorrow.

Maybe i forgot to mention that it works with the Polish-Programmer keyboard layout...

no capital letters in Polish Alphabet

When one types in all caps WESOŁYCH ŚWIĄT or the name MALIŃSKI or CZĘSTOCHOWA, then all upper-case letters are needed.
