Hello do you have an idea how to get a quick way to get the accented uppercase letters, such as è, à, etc.? I'm having problems both in Office and in Wordfast 4.

If you keep the key pressed in, it will show you many options: then press shift 1, or shift 2 accordingly. Toon | | | Toon Theuwis (X) Belgio Local time: 03:05 Da Inglese a Olandese + ... Same goes for capital letters | Nov 22, 2016 |

Thanks for all your tips, but I'd rather prefer working with shortcut keys. Doing an uppercase accented letter seems quite difficult in this way, as you need to press shift+letter+ move to the requested accented letter. Moreover, I would also need this to be used in Wordfast PRO 3 and 4. Currently, I write the lowercase letter and then I use the Toggle case key, but it is still a waste of time.

I have my keyboard set up for English and French and press a quick shortcut to toggle between them. (Being able to touch-type in both languages is required for that to work.) However, that doesn't solve the problem of upper case accented letters, which the link above does.
