Windows 10: Accents on French Canadian Keyboard

Hello! I've started using the French Canadian keyboard setup on my standard keyboard because I'm writing in French more and more. My only problem is that everyone says that the ' button second from the right on the caps row should let me then press any letter and get an accent over the letter I press. Same theory for the / button second from the right on the shift key row. However, when I press either of those buttons, it doesn't let me then hit a letter - it just defaults to é and è. This didn't matter much - until I tried to type où. I found this forum post: https://answers.microsof

Accent grave on French Canadian Keyboard

I have the same problem and I think I know what it is, though I still do not have a good solution. The French Canadian keyboard configuration puts the u accent grave character on a key between the z and the left shift key, but my physical keyboard does not
have such a key.

The least bad solution I have found when typing in French (I am indeed and French Canadian, but living in the US and I can't actually buy a keyboard, let alone a laptop with that physical keyboard configuration here) is to use the ALT code (ALT + 151 or
ALT + 0249). Another possibility is to revert to the English US keyboard configuration (simply ALT + SHIFT, if you have set it up), type CTRL + ` and then u, and then come back to the French Canadian keyboard (ALT + SHIFT again) to continue writing.

Neither of these solutions is awesome and if someone knows of a way to get that character with a simpler set of keystroke on a French Canadian keyboard configuration but a US physical keyboard, I would love to hear it!

Cheers!

 

Accent grave on French Canadian Keyboard

Hello,

I've recently started using the Canadian French Keyboard on my new Window 10 desktop. Unfortunately, I am having trouble finding the "u accent grave" on the keyboard. I could pretty much do every other accented alphabet but the "u accent grave".

My keyboard have special keys for é, è, , ç, and everything else with "accent circonflex" or "le tréma" are manual.

I also have a mac and the "u accent grave" is the tilde key next to 1 at the top left hand corner on that keyboard. On the PC, however it's the forward and back slash. I've exhausted every other option I could find on the internet so if anyone could kindly
show me what to do that'll be awesome.

Thank you.

 

canadian french keyboard missing


Hi,

New computer.

I could select the "Canadian French" language for the keyboard. This way I can use the blue characters on my HP omen.

Then I restarted, and there was windows updates.

Now, "Canadian French" keyboard disapeared ! I can use "French", but the keyboard is not good (I need the one using the blue keys).

How can I get back the "Canadian French" keyboard ?
