This is the FrKeys documentation.
1 Introduction
1.2 Limitations
FrKeys makes it easier to type in accents in Windows. It works like an extension of your keyboard, giving you a way to type characters that aren’t there on your existing keyboard. Windows (in the Windows 2000 and Windows XP versions) contains support for 1000s of accents covering hundreds of languages, and FrKeys makes it easy to use them. However there are some things that it can’t do:
- The accents you use must be present in a font on your system. Fortunately modern versions of Windows come with fonts that contain 1000s of accents and symbols, covering virtually all languages in common use today.
- For some languages it’s necessary to enable support in Windows for that language—see Installing Languages.
- Some older applications may not have support for Unicode. These applications will only be able to use the basic Windows set of accents (which nonetheless cater for the majority of Western European languages).
