- Using Alt codes on Spectre 360?

My laptop has no number pad and no numlock - Is there no way to use alt codes to get accented characters? Using Alt and the numbers along the top does not work, nor does ctrl + codes, or fn + codes.
I've read the few posts on this that exist already (different models but I assume it's the same thing). The on-screen keyboard does not work for me, and I don't think opening the character map is an acceptable solution. My name has an accent in it, and I frequently write in other languages (although English is still the primary) and opening the map and scrolling around every time is not a good long-term solution.
Anything I can download? Any help at all on this would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Hello 8smp2
That is the one big problem with using any laptop that does not have a numpad.
HP does not have a solution for this as far as anything you can download.
I agree the character map is not a speedy solution.
The only other alternatives that you ask about downloading are to try either https://www.autohotkey.com/ or use the Microsoft download to alter keyboard mapping... Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 Here is a tutorial on it... Youtube link
Or get yourself a USB numpad to add to the side of the laptop.

Hope that helped.
