    Hmmm, on my new Windows 10 PC the Control-key combination does NOT work! So after research I found the best way: I right click the Taskbar, then choose "Touch Keyboard." With the cursor where I want it, I click on the Touch Keyboard, pick a letter, Click and Hold on it using the left mouse button, move the mouse to whatever accent I want, and click on it! Done!

    Microsoft should adopt Apple’s method of writing those accent marks. For those with a Mac, you just long press Option key with your intended key, revealing a pop up of all the accent marks for that letter, you select and continue typing. Very intuitive.
