é, è, à and ç
The most used accents, per keyboard
The first job: the names of the chocolates on the labels. Praliné, crème, café: Hélène wants every accent in its place.
Every keyboard does it differently
On Belgian AZERTY, é, è, ç and à have a key of their own on the number row, without Shift. On US-International you type them with a dead key: first the apostrophe or the grave accent (left of 1), then the letter. On a British Windows keyboard AltGr with E gives an é, but the other accents are missing.
If your keyboard lacks an accent, the exercise says so and you type the letter without it. Watch which keys light up on your keyboard.
