Laptop Keyboard : how do I do french accents ?
7 Answers
Hi ! I just bought a laptop, which I will be using to do my coursework in translation. I thus need to write in French most of the time. but I cannot figure out how to type the french accents , like �, �,� ...I normally use the keyboard shortcuts on my work PC ( ALT 130, etc...) but it doesn't work on my laptop ! I know I can change the keyboard settings to french ( AZERTY layout ), but then I won't know where the keys are ! Can someone help me ? Cheers !

But also, do you know if there is such a thing as (bear with me there...) some sort of cover thingy that you can put over your keyboard, and that shows the french layout ( as in printed on the cover )? If you know what I mean ...?
I know what you mean but I've never seen one.
Do you know all the ASCII codes for the French alphabet? Have a look at http://www.lookuptables.com/ I usually memorise the ones I need (German).
An alternative is purchase a French keyboard (USB) that you can plug into your laptop. Then change the language & keyboard layout to French. Might be the easiest solution. You maybe able to order a keyboard through www.amazon.fr
