Solved how to change keyboard behaviour

[Thijzzzzz]

Hi' I have an hp laptop with a british keyboard. the problem is that I need to write in french and other langauges so the e with an accent is impossible to write, the thing that I want to achieve is that according to my computer i still have a british keyboard, but I want it to behave like an international one is this possible?

Hello Thijzzzzz,

Try this
:ar:Keyboard

It's Control Panel>Region and Language>Keyboards and Languages>Change Keyboards>Add>French
You will probably need to reboot then.

   Tip

Using the US-International keyboard layout, you can input many oft-used characters easily. Type Alt-E for é, for example, Alt-N for ñ or Alt-Q for ä. Alt-5 inputs the € sign.

Read the Use the US-International Keyboard section

I found a tutorial here in the forums as well

When making the changes make sure you:

Click Regional and Language Options.
Go to the Keyboards and Languages tab.
Click Change keyboards
Click Add... under Installed Services.
Make sure English (United States) (or another English language) is selected under Input Language. United Kingdom for you
Select United States-International from the Keyboard layout/IME drop-down menu.
Click OK.
Click OK again.
Now click the language bar.
Select United States-International from the menu.

Then the tip above in post 2 should work
