    For the French cedilla ( ç - Ç ) you can press:
    [Right Alt] + [ , ] = ç
    [Shift] + [Right Alt] + [ , ] = Ç

    FINALLY - I've been trawling articles on how to type accents and you're the only one who has actually preceded the whole 'Type a symbol then the letter' thing with the correct instruction of adding the correct keyboard and removing the old one!!!
    Thank you so much!!!!

    a. ' (apostrophe) + letters a e i o u y c --> adds accent acute or cedilla) --> á é í ó ú ý ç
    b. ` (accent grave; below tilde) + a e i o u --> adds accent grave --> à è ì ò ù
    c. " (quotation) + letters a e i o u y --> adds a dieresis [umlaut] --> ä ë ï ö ü ÿ
    d. ~ (tilde = [shift + ` ]) + letters n a o --> adds a tilde --> ñ ã õ
    e. I haven't figured out the other diacriticals for German, yet, but I bet they are there.

    i'm italian and today i bought a keyboard (american layout), as you can imagine italian language needs the vocals with accent mark and after an half hour of searches i found this tutorial, the ultimate tutorial. You are the only one that helped me.

    pro tip: if ur on windows and want to alternate between these quickly, press windows + space. as long as u have more than one keyboard, it'll let you alternate between the different keyboards

    Your video saved me! I tried a bunch of French keyboard layout and found them all too complicated and confusing to be practical. The keyboard introduced in your video is really simple and intuitive. I appreciate that.

    Thanks for making this video. I’m learning a new language and my keyboard layout is American. It was driving my crazy to copy paste the letters each time when typing. Your video helped a lot.

  • @1nfuzion
    @1nfuzion 4 роки тому +20

    Also an easier way to make é or á or ó is to use the [ ' ] that is next to the Enter key. [ ' ] + [e, a, o]

    On Linux, I suggest remapping the scroll lock into compose if you use a US English layout (not international). If you want to type œ for example, type compose + o + e.

    Hello, I was wondering how I would be able to type "J'ai" without having to switch keyboards or typing the quotation mark and then having to delete on of the dots. I saw you typed j'écris relatively fast.

      There is a coupe of comments guiding to write C / c cedilla in the comment section. I just copy and paste them here
      Credit to Vauron:
      For the French cedilla ( ç - Ç ) you can press:
      [Right Alt] + [ , ] = ç
      [Shift] + [Right Alt] + [ , ] = Ç
      Another way credit to K.R.Davidson: Cédille (ç), type ' then c.
