Yeah, the English keyboard sucks anal blood. I need a USB side board that has those keys on there.

The British keyboard can do it with the alt-gr key and e, but I don't believe the US keyboard has that functionality. I'm a little surprised it doesn't, especially since (iirc) Canada uses the same layout, and there's a lot of French speakers there.

Apparently, we have an alternative in the form of the US international input language. We have to hit a diacritical mark and then hit the letter to input it. If we just want that mark, then we have to hit space after it. Personally, I say fuck it and go with the default keyboard, using google to copy and paste characters I need in. Sometimes, I'm so lazy that I just put the diacritical mark and the letter inside parentheses, like so: ('e).

What we need is a keypad that allows one to input accented letters, without having to enter in those pesky alt-codes.

I use the US - International keyboard setting by default so I can type a bunch of fun stuff.

Typing é can also be done right right-Alt + e if you would rather do that instead of the way you described. Also, the é shows up upon hitting the e-button. You don't need to put a space after it for it to appear.

I was talking about wanting JUST the diacritical mark. For example, if you want a tilde and only a tilde, you would have to shift+ and then space to get it. And this other alt-method doesn't seem to work on default US
