    I don't need these umlauts and stuff that come up when I hold down a vowel on the keyboard. Is there any way to turn this feature off? :/

    In terminal type (or copy and paste):
    defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

    to re-enable:

    defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

    or if you don't know or feel comfortable with the command line then you can download Lion Tweaks (free).
