HELLO

#

im a mac iser

#

insteall ABC EXTENDED as a mac keyboadd in settings

#

then you will see

#

so on mac there are combinations of option + letter for the accent alone

#

and after that you press the letter u want

#

for example

#

option + c = ¸ (tail)

#

option + c AND THEN C = ç

#

option + e = ´

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

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

CMS is a great option that doesn't rely too heavily on deadkeys.

#

it depends i fyou like your [];',./ keys to be those keys

opal grail
#

it only does red squiggly

#

but never auto for me

#

but i just type with the option+accent+letter

#

using abc extended

#

Any recommendations? I found a few but they are not very good. I am particularly looking for a french conjugation dictionary that should look pretty much like https://conjugator.reverso.net

English verb conjugation: past tense, participle, present perfect...

conjugation is by heart at this point

#

you have no idea how many times ive googled "XXXX conjugaison"

valid bolt
opal grail
#

and by typing more you learn by heart

valid bolt
#

There are also times when I don't know what the original form of a conjugated word is, and googling often leads to irrelevant results, but built-in dict can often correctly identify it

opal grail
#

im not sure

#

lets take mangeons

#

if nor you can guess

#

or google the conjugated and get the infinitive

#

keyword for thede googles is "conjugaison"

valid bolt
#

But it's a shame that the dict doesn't have a conjugation table

keyword is "conjugaison"

#

i dont think a software like tjat exists but it probs does

opal grail
#

in conclusion with abc extended

#

not only do you get all your letters ad they are

#

and all they keys as they are

#

all you need is option + letter to make the accent root

#

and then press the lettee ya wbat

#

@opal grail What is the difference btw ABC extended and the regular US keyboard?

opal grail
#

option + c = ç
but with extended its just the tail

#

option + ˋ = weird helix thing
but with extended tou can make è and à

#

so basically accent and you can choose the letter

#

i used to be on abc (not extended) so my accents were limited to a letter

#

like option n = ñ
but now i can make the squiggly and type in other letters like ã

valid bolt
#

With both US and ABC extended, I have to do:
(option + E) then E to make a "é"
(option + `) then E to make a "è"

opal grail
#

voilà

#

ˆ (i think is option 6?)
´ e
ˋ (~ next to 1)
ç - C

valid bolt
#

With US, option + C = ç
With ABC extended, option + C = ¸, (option + C) + C = Ç

opal grail
#

stick with usa then

#

because no use to ş or ļ

#

for example

#

so you have all the accents

#

is ^ option 6? i

#

yeah

#

i knew it haha

#

with extended its 6 because they swapped i for sth else

#

but yeah youve got everything

#

hust write it in a post it

#

and practice typing using them

#

it took me a while to grasp acvents in french from option + root + letter

#

but with time i can type italian even, turkish and portuguese quickly

#

practice makes perfect
