An i with a circumflex is created by typing the circumflex (shift 6: ^) then the i: î. For an è, type the backward apostrophe ` then the e: è. For an accented a (á), for example, just type the apostrophe, then the a. If the next key pressed is a vowel, an accented vowel will appear. Accessing the accented characters is quite easy because the characters for acute, grave, and circumflex accents and tildes have now been made into 'dead' keys, which means that nothing happens immediately upon pressing the apostrophe key or another accent key.
