Ho do you use the bilingual keyboard?

[BuffaloSoldier]

How do you use the bilingual Canadian keyboard that comes with the ENVY desktop? I'm referring to the blue characters and symbols on some of the keys. I cannot figure out what key or combinaiton of keys you need to select the blue chacacter. For example, the key with the ? / also has a blue É. If I want to use the É, what else do I have to press? What about the other French accented chacacters like à, é, à, ç...?

Hi,

To activate the blue symbols keyboard:

Ctrl + Fn + Right Shift

Deactivate the blue symbols keyboard:

Ctrl+Fn+Right Shift and then release Right Shift and press Right Shift again.

Hope it help0s,

David

Within "Control Panel", select "Region and Language" to see the installed "input methods".

By default, "Left-Alt-Shift" will cycle through the installed input methods.  You can change this association.

On the French keyboard, type the apostrophe -- ' -- and the cursor will not advance.  Type a vowel, to merge the vowel with the apostrophe to create a "digraph" character.
