To help typing macron characters, or any Unicode character not on the keyboard, I wrote TYPECASE
http://www.buckrogers.demon.co.uk/3d/typecase_vc.zip
It is like Windows's Character Map but its screen display is much bigger and clearer.
It handles all possible Unicode 16-bit characters.
It was compiled with Visual C++ 2008.

Baert,
Using a double vowel to represent vowel length is not a good idea for Nahuatl because vowel elision varies from dialect to dialect. In Modern Huastecan Nahuatl, for example, repeated short vowels are very common. Here are some examples:
1. niitztoc, "I am (place or state)."
2. quiitta, "he/she sees him/her/it."
3. moohhui, "your road."
Here's a double long vowel.
a:a:chi:xqui, "he/she waited for their turn at the well after all."
