EasyAccents makes entering accented characters easy in insert mode. Of course there are many European keyboards that have accented characters on keys, but US-style keyboards don't. During insert mode, a' becomes an accented a, etc. It works with utf8 encoding.

EasyAccents may be toggled on and off with: :EZA

You can get just the two characters o', for example, by simply escaping the ': o&#039 -> o'

History/Features:

v5: included g:EasyAccents_VowelFirst option fixed insert vs append bug

v4: EasyAccents handles a' a` A' o: etc : during insert mode, these pairs of characters become the associated accented characters. Use ea (ea) to toggle EasyAccents on and off. Especially helpful for US style keyboards.
