Otherwise, with the French keyboard layout, you'll find - among other changes - that the A and Q have switched places, W and Z have switched, and M is where the semi-colon used to be. In addition, numbers require the shift key.
On the other hand, you can type the grave accent (à, è, ù) and acute accent (é) with a single key, and the other accented letters with a combination of two keys:
- To type anything with a circumflex (â, ê, etc), type ^ then the vowel
- For a tréma, (ä, ë, etc), type ¨ and the vowel
In order to use the French keyboard to type French accents, you need to select that keyboard layout.
