    Qwerty keyboard layout with French accents

  • Shameless plug: I maintain a keyboard layout that allows you to effortlessly type 15+ European languages with it. It's entirely compatible with QWERTY, so anyone can switch to it without relearning anything.

    Contrary to EurKey and QWERTY international, it's a breeze to learn and use. The placement of every key is logical, you just need to learn a few simple rules and then everything makes sense!

  • us-4-es.keylayout

    Mac keyboard layout for users of U.S. layout who need to write Spanish characters occasionally.

  • I use something similar to this. Although as a Spanish, the acute accent is prioritized on the main vowels: aeiou -> áéíóú, with alt-gr, and the dieresis (¨) is only used with the u (ü) so I leave it at a chord (alt-gr ', u)
