I have a moble computer with an english keyboard
(not us but english with "!"£$%^&*()" under the key "1234567890" )

I configured the keyboard in language french (i'm french) and disposition to
english : it work's!

But I don't find the way to type accents like éèêë ...

Is there an exe that can help me

I made a try configuring it in US Internationnal, it's great : I can type '
then e , that does é
But the Us International disposition is not exactly the english disposition
.......

Thanks for your help

You can also use Charmap to look up the correct Alt key combination by
holding the Alt key while typing in the 4 characters on the number pad and
use that or copy the correct character from Charmap and paste it into your
document.

I find it easiest to keep a post it note with my most frequently used
extended characters stuck to my monitor. Here are a few.

º - Alt 0186
á - Alt 0225
ç - Alt 0231
é - Alt 0233
ó - Alt 0250

Check Charmap (Start -> Run -> Charmap) for any others that you need.

Do you know if there is a program that can intercept key and simulate
keyboard, to do like the US international disposition ?
