Hi, I had to buy my asus laptop in france but I am used to type on a qwerty. I am new to the laptop but also to windows 11. I added the qwerty keyboard proposed by windows but did not find how to generate the accents in french. i know i can switch, but it s difficult and the on screen keyboard does not match exactely with the one on my laptop. i have to write in french and german too and it would be great to get hint how I could make it easier for me. i tried to ask the asus services but they have no idea and i never got the answer promised. i want to add that initially i tried to have the system in english but had to switch it back to french. a customer service attendant told me that otherwise my asus would be too confused.... copilot and claude tried their best but could not find a solution.

I have a

You may find the United States-International keyboard layout easier than switching between French and standard US layouts. Go to Settings → Time & language → Language & region → French → Language options → Keyboards → Add a keyboard, then look for United States-International. With the US-International layout you can keep a QWERTY-style layout while typing French accented characters using key combinations. For example, ' followed by e gives é, and ` followed by e gives è. You can also switch installed keyboard layouts quickly with Win + Space. Since your physical keyboard was made for the French market, the labels printed on the keys will still be AZERTY, but Windows can interpret the keys using the QWERTY layout.
