Hello
do you have an idea how to get a quick way to get the accented uppercase letters, such as è, à, etc.?

I'm having problems both in Office and in Wordfast 4.

Thanks
Lucia

If you keep the key pressed in, it will show you many options:

then press shift 1, or shift 2 accordingly.

You're right, Toon, however I believe that's possible only when using English keyboard layout, other layouts - at least those I've used - will not offer this choice.

This also works with the German and Swiss German keyboard, though I don't know if this is of any help to Lucia...

A shortcut key Nov 23, 2016

Thanks for all your tips, but I'd rather prefer working with shortcut keys. Doing an uppercase accented letter seems quite difficult in this way, as you need to press shift+letter+ move to the requested accented letter.

Moreover, I would also need this to be used in Wordfast PRO 3 and 4.
Currently, I write the lowercase letter and then I use the Toggle case key, but it is still a waste of time.

(You can redefine your keyboard.)

See this: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000657.htm for a really simple and easily remembered way to get accents on upper or lower case letters and it also enables you to type dipthongs like æ œ etc. Skip down to the "shortcut keys" heading rather than bothering with the first method using the ribbon.

I have my keyboard set up for English and French and press a quick shortcut to toggle between them. (Being able to touch-type in both languages is required for that to work.) However, that doesn't solve the problem of upper case accented letters, which the link above does.
