3 Choosing accents
3.2 The Change Characters window
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:
- 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.
