HP Recommended
Product: Spectre x360 Convertible
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

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
