How to get the French accents on your Chromebook

It is quite easy to type the French diacritical signs (aka: those pesky accents)  with your chromebook. Let’s take the mystery out of them:

• First you need to set up your keyboard input one time:

1. Click on user icon -> Settings -> scroll down, Show Advanced -> Languages -> Customize languages and input...
2. Under "Input method" check the "US International Keyboard" checkbox (Leave "US Keyboard" checked as well)
3. Click the "Add" button
4. Select "French"
5. Also check the “US Extended Keyboard”

When you’re done, your languages screens should look like these:

• Exit the settings page.  There will now be a little "US" next to the clock and the wifi indicator in the lower right corner.
• Go to the page/Doc where you want to do international input.
• Use control-shift-space; the "US" in the corner will change to "INTL" or “EXTD” or “FR” -- pick “INTL”

• Now, the letters:

• à, è, ù: Left alt-grave accent and letter.
• é: Right alt-e  or leftalt-apostrophe ( right of keyboard) and e.
• â û ô ê : shift -6 and then the letter: a, u, o or e.
• ç:   right alt-comma.
• ü : rightalt-y or shift -"- u
• ë : shift -"- e
• ï : shift-"- i
• œ: rightalt-k
• æ: rightalt-z
• ¨ ' ¨: rightalt - )

• To enable Caps Lock: Left alt-search (magnifying glass key). Use left alt-search again to turn off caps locks.

• When you are done, control-shift-space will set back your keyboard to "US" (and right alt will just be alt again)
