Can "English (Intl., with AltGr dead keys)" be used for French too?

[drpeppercan]

I am using the above mentioned keyboard layout, for English and Spanish. But is there a way to use it for French too?

Thanks

Bien sûr, pourquoi pas?

Tres bien!
Donc, comment fais-tu l'accent grave sur la lettre e, a, etc ? (contraire a espagnol).
Et, la cedille sous la lettre c.

Merci

I'll respond in English because this is the English part of the forum. Because not all desktop environments support this, here's a screenshot of your chosen keyboard layout as my MATE desktop shows me (Mint menu > Keyboard > Show for an interactive version if you're using MATE, and I think also Cinnamon):

You will find the "accent grave" in the top left and the "cedille" next to the m. The default binds are the ones shown on the left-hand side of the keys, the AltGr binds are on the right.

So for è you have to press AltGr+` and then e. ç is just AltGr+,.

T'as tout compris ?

I'll just add that although you see from the layout-picture that e.g. AltGr+e is é you can also compose aigu similarly to grave: AltGr+', <let go>, e. This is frequently easier to remember: AltGr+' (é), AltGr+` (è), AltGr+6 (ê, note that ^ is above 6), AltGr+" (ë), ...

Those single compose-keys are also identified on the layout-picture.

A bit off topic but perhaps useful:
On a Swiss keyboard you can find German with all umlauts as well as French with all accents.
Very handy for all those who repeatedly enter texts in different languages...

Got it!

Thank you both for your help!
