This window allows you to choose the accents that will be displayed as buttons in the FrKeys window. To display this window, select ‘Change characters’ from the FrKeys menu.

The Change Characters window contains the following elements:

The Change Characters window

Characters
These are the characters that will be displayed as buttons in the FrKeys window.
OK
Click here when you have chosen the characters that you want.
Paste
Click here to add an accent that you have copied from another program to the list displayed by FrKeys.
More
Click here to select from a wide variety of accents and special characters. See the next section for details of the More Characters window.
Cancel
Click here to close the Change Characters window without making any changes.
Accents
Select one of these accents to be placed above or below a letter.
Letters
Click on one of these buttons to add a letter (with the selected accent) to the current characters. For example to add an ‘e acute’, select ‘acute’ from Accents, and click on the ‘E’ button. Not all accents are available with all letters. For example, it is not possible to have a letter ‘n’ with a circumflex accent. When a letter is not available with the accent that is currently selected, its button will be disabled, and will appear in grey.
Capital
If ‘Capital’ is selected when one of the Letters buttons is clicked, a capital letter will be added instead of a lower case letter.
Others
These buttons give a selection of useful characters. Click on a button to add its character to the currently selected characters.
Languages
Here you can select (or edit) a set of characters that is already defined—either one you have set up yourself, or one that came with FrKeys. See Languages for more details.
