How do you get french accents on the keyboard when writing in French

Just copy and paste in the search bar.
Use the above link. It's a list of French accents using the "alt" key and a combination of numbers. I use this all the time and it works great. Good luck.

Linda, you need to remove unused keyboard languages from the control panel, look under regional settings... Sometimes this is really buried, but in essence, you need to remove/delete unneeded keyboards.

oui.oui, tapez le bouton au-dessous le "@" symbol,faire certain "cap's Lock is ni sur!

Click on Keyboard icon on taskbar and change the option to english...Looks like it is in French right now..

Hi, a French keyboard is very different to the English keyboard, so for writing in French I use goodle translate and copy and paste into i.e word. The alternative is to plug a french keyboard in place of the English one. Come back to me if this isn't helpful

came online to find the answer myself, and then fooled around with my keyboard... try pressing ctrl + shift. It just worked for mine. Good luck!

You need to tell windows it has a french keyboard:


In the control panel, go to regional and language options.
Go to the keyboards and languages tab, click change keyboards. On the window that pops up, click on the general tab. You probably have just the us keyboard installed. Click add, then choose either english-canada or french-france, then click to add the french keyboard. Click preview to see where the accent keys will be (so you can find them). Now, select the french keyboard and click 'move up' so the french keyboard is above the us english one.

Voila!

Hope this helps. Post a comment if you get stuck.
