Accented letters on AZERTY keyboard Corsair K60 RGB Pro

[Oby]

Hi everyone,

I have an AZERTY (French) keyboard K60 Pro RGB from Corsair.

I am not fully understanding how to write caracters with accent. I think it's about a dead key ?

Here are the caracters I would like to be able to type :

Letter e + ^ = ê

Letter e + ¨ = ë

Letter i + ^ = î

Letter I + ¨ = ï

Letter o + ^ = ô

Letter a + ^ = â

Letter u + ^ = û

Letter u + ¨ = ü

I have attached a picture of my current keyboard and the keyboard layout file I have created so far.

Thank you very much for your help :-)

Is there some reason you don't want to use the standard apple French input source, where you type ^ then e to get ê ?

It sounds as though you are using the Windows/Linux letter-then-accent rather than the Mac accent-then-letter.

Tom, this is a very frequent confusion: many users think that a physical keyboard MUST follow the input (keyboard layout) disregarding what keylayout is active!

I once wrote an analysis of this, frankly I am lazy to rewrite it again. 

Yes, of course, if users are accustomed to an AZERTY (French or similar) keylayout, they should choose French or another AZERTY-based keylayout in the active settings. Otherwise, of course the chars do not match!

Sorry I am new to this software... is there a solution then ?

Please set your input source to French (as supplied by apple) and type ^ and then e.  What do you get?

It is working when I select the French keyboard input source from Apple! but not from my Ukulele keyboard layout..what did I do wrong ?

[Gé van Gasteren]

Hi Oby,

I think you have started with an empty keyboard layout and then inserted letters to copy the looks of Apple’s French keyboard layout.

But that’s not all there is: there are not-so-obvious mechanisms that need to be included.

If you are not completely happy with how the built-in French layout works, it’s best – and easiest – to first create a copy of it with Ukelele’s command "New From Current Input Source".

Then you make the changes you want.

Wishing you success!
