Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

[vagrant ledge]

found a post from the Duolingo forums where there's an example using Autohotkey: https://forum.duome.eu/viewtopic.php?t=604

it seems to work okay

œ

Œ

; French characters œ and Œ when using "Ctrl+0" and "Ctrl+Shift+0"

~LControl & 0::
if GetKeyState("Shift")
Send {U+0152}
else
Send {U+0153}
return```

[simple grail]

if you got it to work well done

[vagrant ledge]

yeah, but it seems like a hack...

I was hoping for a "native" solution like the rest of the characters

Il existe plusieurs méthodes pour taper les accents. Le plus facile est d'installer une disposition de clavier mieux adaptée à les taper.

There are several ways to type accents. The easiest way to do this is to install keyboard layout that facilitates typing them.

Popular keyboard layouts // Dispositions populaires :

• Canadian Multilingual Standard (CSA on macOS): https://kbdlayout.info/kbdcan
• US International: https://kbdlayout.info/KBDUSX/
• QWERTY-FR: https://qwerty-fr.org/
• BÉPO: https://kbdlayout.info/kbdfrnb

@vagrant ledge you can read through these but I think the best recommendation is getting the Canadian or the QWERTY-FR keyboards

[vocal isle]

Only CMS, qwerty-fr and BÉPO have the œ ligature

[prime forge]

Quand je dois utiliser Windows je saisis avec http://mjulier.free.fr/clavier/

C'est un portage direct de l'AZERTY de Linux avec majuscules accentuées et tout le tralala

[long lily]

Mais c’est un clavier AZERTY oui ? J’hésite à donner un clavier à part QWERTY aux débutants
