Swiss French Keyboard - Special Characters

I have a Swiss French keyboard, but I write in other languages as Portuguese, and I have difficulties in writing some special characters as: Á, Í, Ú (I had to copy and past them here in order to write). Is there a complete manual for all characters with the Swiss French keyboard layout?
Thanks!

I don't seem to be able to type them in uppercase either (I always get ´A).
The answer was provided 2 years ago -- Just hold down option/alt + shift with keyboard viewer active and you will see how to make them:

LR 4 and swiss french keyboard issues

Hello,
I was looking for the french forum but I was redirected on this one ?
I am just starting with this product and I have identified some issues.
- The shorcut contextual menu is not working
- The shorcuts rotations are not working.
- The french translation for the rotations shortcuts are wrong. It displays the MAC OS shorcuts.
- Material : swiss french keybord logitex LX700, LR 4 version 4.0 (2012.04.30) and Windows Vista.
Is it working for you ?
Do I missed something during the installation ?
Thanks,

I get a solution here

1) Duplicate the file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4\Resources\fr\TranslatedStrings.txt
2) Replace in TranslatedStrings.txt the parameters RotateLeft and Rotate Right
I wanted to use ctrl+, and ctrl+. like for the swiss german localization. But ctrl+, was not working so I use ctrl+. and ctrl+-
I keep the german labels to remember that the code was changed.
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateLeft=Nach links &drehen (gegen UZS)"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateLeft/Key=Cmd+."
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateRight=Nach &rechts drehen (im UZS)"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Menu/Photo/RotateRight/Key=Cmd+-"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/RotateLeft=Rotation antihoraire"
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/RotateLeftKey=Commande + ."
"$$$/AgLibrary/Help/Shortcuts/RotateRight=Rotation horaire"

Now I have to see how to make the contextual button working

Issue with Keyboard Special Characters in HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU

I am using a HP Pavilion DV6-3004TU notebook. I just had my Windows 7 Professional installed. When I @ using Shift + 2 it displays " (quotation marks). It is vice-versa as well, ie., when I type " using Shift ' it displays @ symbol. I as well have issue with typing the hash symbol. When I type Shift 3 it displays £ instead of hash symbol. This is a brand new laptop and I am using an external USB keyboard as well for my convenience. This problem is encountered in both keyboards (notebook keyboard and external keyboard) as well. What do I do now? It has become a literal mess with characters making it difficult most of the times. Kindly help

That looks like keyboard layout issue...Looks like your keyboard is set to UK english...to check that...
To check that, Click Start, type intl.cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. On the Keyboards and Language tab, click Change keyboards.
You should see 2 entries English (united States) and English (United Kingdom). If true, delete English (United Kingdom). That should take care of it...

Franklin, you ask me to select the French (Switzerland keyboard) but I have not that keyboard on the list !
Then something is not right with your iOS 5 installation. You should try resetting your device.
Every correct iOS 5 install should have the choices French, French (Canada), French (Switzerland) on the list from which you add keyboards.

How to assign shortcuts to special characters?

Hello everyone,
I have a question about assigning shortcuts, so here I go: I would like to know if there is a way (and if yes, how) to assign personal shortcuts to special characters on my newly acquired MacBook Pro running Mac OS Lion.
The problem is that I use the Swiss-French keyboard layout and that I cannot use directly the keyboard to insert characters, such as 'Ó' or 'Í' (capital letters), whereas – strangely – I can insert their respective lower case characters. I also happen to use various other characters from different languages, such as 'ð' or 'þ', to which I would like also to assign personal shortcuts, so as not to constantly have to change my keyboard layout for every single one of them.
Thank you very much for helping me out!
Cheers!

Wow! Thank you very much for your very clear explanations Barney-15E!
Here is what I get when I try to do what you said (and what is actually what I have been doing up to now).
So basically this is what I get when I open Keyboard Viewer (I remind you that my keyboard layout is Swiss-French):
I then have two options to type either of the two accents:
Shift+^ to get `
Option+^ to get ´
The first accent works perfectly well. I can type all the needed letters bearing a ` accent, regardless of their respective case.
However, a problem arises when trying to type capital letters accentuated with ´ accent.
Here is what I get for the lowercase (Option+^):
Everything is fine (except that the ý is missing... Which is another concern of mine)...
But look what happens when I try to do the same for capital letters.
What the devil happened to the Á, Í, Ó and to the Ú? Only the É seems to remain...
And thus my problem. I cannot type Ó,... Using this method. What I get is a silly ´O or ´I... Uppercase letters are not accentuated.
I hope this time my problem was easier to understand...
The best way to solve this would probably be to assign shortcuts to special characters, but as mentioned above, apparently such a method does not exist, unfortunately...

Using accents/special characters in keyboard WAY TOO SLOW!

I'm often using french, and thus many words have many accents (just a short phrase exemple : l'été passé j'ai dû boire l'amère potion de la déception... A short sentence, 5 accents. Can be worse).
I'm typing pretty fast, and already getting frustrated because the french keyboard doesn't have the ' included, which would save so much time in contractions. (Would probably be added automatically if I could use the corrector, but I can't, cause switching from french to english all the time, I just get stupid jumble all the time).
But the worst of the worst is each time I need to type an accented letter, I lose 2.5 seconds! Because that's how long it takes for the accents options to pop-up after I hold my finger on the letter...
It's completely ridiculous!
Typing a short 3 letter word like "été" takes over 6 seconds!
It makes me so mad!
I almost completely stopped writing my french emails or Facebook updates and such from my iPod Touch and prefer to wait until I'm on my MBP! Is that normal when you have the chance to own the Touch?!
I've contacted Apple about this many months ago, but like any complaint I've had in the past, never heard of them.
Has anyone else have such a delay with the accents/special characters keyboard (popups)?
Is there something I can do?

Simply copy and paste. Just did it and it worked. Perhaps I'm not understanding something. What do you mean by "insert a font."

How can I display special characters of NonEuropean languages (French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.) using import string mechanism

I would like to translate the User Interface of my application to French, Italian, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
When I put special characters in the import string file they showed up as ? (question mark)
The import strings file includes the following parameters for each string: font, text, size and style. (but no field for script)
In order to use a unicode font such as Arial I need to select a french script. But this option is not supported bu LabView (As far as I saw)
A) Is there a font which is directly German/ French etc and not regula font + script parameter?
B) Are there another required step
s for special characters support? (When I put speciual characters in the import string file the showed up as ? question mark)

This was discussed last week in this group- read the previous messages.
Look for the thread "Foreign Languages in Labview"
And recite the mantra
ActiveX is good
ActiveX is holy
All Hail Bill
Those who claim otherwise are heretics and not to be trusted
Actually, in this case the non-ActiveX suggestions may be good.

What's wrong with the built-in keyboard on my macbook? The caps button does not work rite, no matter what letter button i push they all come out capitals and the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers!

the built-in keyboard on my macbook is not functioning right, the number keys when pushed display the special characters instead of the numbers,
the caps button doesn't work at all, the letter buttons display capitals when pushed whether the caps button is on or off, the shift keys are also out of whack!!
It seems it somehow got relocated to the "0" button because if you push and hold the zero button down the keyboard seems to operate normally, the number keys display numbers when pushed the letter keys display lower case when pushed but release the zero button and your back in the twilight zone!! Can anybody help me resolve this issue? one more thing im using an external usb keyboard right now and it seems to function properly if that helps any.

You would do better in the actual macbook pro forums (this is not).

How does one enter special characters, in particular french accents into text in PS Elements?

I'm trying to produce some artwork in Photoshop Elements with some French text in it, so I need to know how to input special characters for the letters with accents. Anyone got any ideas - I've tried looking for a glyph menu but that doesn't seem to exist on Elements.

Which operating system are you using and version of photoshop elements?
Photoshop elements doesn't have a Glyphs panel or menu.
Here's a way:

Transfer/Reply to emails with french special characters - BB 9360

Hi,
I've got a problem when I reply/transfer to mails with french special characters (such as "é" "è" "ç" etc..) => all the special characters are replaced with strange characters such as chinese letters or others.
No problem when I send an email with those same characters, it appears only when transfer or reply and only on special characters contained in the original mail I transfer/reply to.
is there a way to solve this issue?
thanks

while pressing the 'e' key, scroll your trackball side to side, you will find the various e variations.
You can do that with most keys to get special characters.

Interactive report : issue with french special characters

Hi,
We have many interactive reports and we can't use any french special characters in the filter clauses. For example, Montréal becomes montrÃ©al.
What parameters do we have to change to make it work?
Thanks.

I found the answer in this thread : Interactive Report Character Set Issue

Problems displaying french special characters

Hello,
we are developing a multi-lingual WebDynpro application. The languages are set correct and the translation for all parts (portal, xls-files) works fine. Except the correct displaying of WebDynproResourceBundle-files.
Example:
We use the french property file with the content:
Enl\u00c3\u00a8vement
When calling this value, it displays:
EnlÃ¨vement
instead of
Enlèvement
I already tried to set the jvm system parameter for encoding to latin1 and latin2. But this didn't help.
Does anybody know, what parameter I have to set to have this french special signs displayed the right way?
Thank you in advance.
Matthias

Yes, I use UTF-8. I think this is the default-value, isn't it?
They are displayed wrongly, when executing the WebDynpro application. Inside the NWDS editor the display is like that:
example:
editor: language: browser: correct
gel\u00f6
scht de gelö
scht ok
Enl\u00c3\u00a8
vement fr EnlÃ¨
vement no!
As you can see, it works fine for german special characters, but not for french, czech and some other languages.
Thank you

Why can't I use special characters in my password? This isn't 1995 anymore where a lot of people don't have QWERTY keyboards.

Why does your site not allow the use of special characters in passwords? Do you not want your customers to be as secure as possible?
As a network security admin, limiting passwords to prohibit special characters is an extremely poor security practice.
Telling me that my security as a customer is important, then tell me that your own system limits my ability to keep my account as secure as I would like seems quite backwards. I understand the archaic reasoning was that not all devices have a QWERTY keyboard, this logic is flawed and is no longer necessary.

Hi, sorry to hear that you are experiencing these problems, but sometimes a new machine (be it Apple, Dell, whatever) can be defective right out the box - its not unheard of.
If your machine came with defective hardware and is still under warranty (seems to be the case here) then you have nothing to lose taking it back to where you bought it and, if there really is defective hardware present I am sure they'll rectify the problem.
A small note: these problems are not manufacturer-specific - its pointless blaming the manufacturer as I can assure you this happens with ALL brands. Apple supplies quality hardware and software - I know of a user who has had a machine switched on since 1987 without problems
