Key codes for alternate type?

Since Kaycaps is gone, what's the solution for finding keyboard shortcuts for alternate typography in OS X?

I've been using PopChar X, but it seems silly that there isn't an integrated solution in the OS. Plus, PopChar X is smart enough to prevent itself from being usable on multiple machines (sorry, I'm only paying once for shareware, not five times, but that's a whole other flame war). I know about the Character Palette, which is really cool, but I can't find in there where it might show the key combos required to replicate the character.

I would much prefer to just know the key combo than having to open up a Character Palette Insertion menu.
 
Turn on the Keyboard Viewer in International preferences and then choosing Show Keyboard Viewer from the input menu in the menu bar. They really hid it away. I stumbled upon it recently.
 
Ahh, there ya go. Good save.

Man, did they bury that. Not super fond of the implementation, but at least it's there. I never liked Keycaps either. I prefer the big character view where you can see all the alternates and then roll over to get the key combo. But this will do. Thx!
