Lara (Y13) makes a useful cheat sheet on typing with accents.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The No. 1 problem with using foreign languages on OneNote\/on screen is the difficulty to type accents however if you use this cheat sheet, you will never face this difficulty again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are multiple ways to get accents into your work, although in my opinion, the best way to consistently and quickly type with accents is to use the keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, these shortcuts are not always the same on each app, but once you remember the differences\/hacks, typing is much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annoyingly, after the most common accents, the “shortcuts” on OneNote become more and more complex, however it is still fun to see the coding behind letters!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
