option to switch KEYBOARD English/French
I want to be able to switch between English & FRENCH characters on my regular American English KEYBOARD, as I used to do when I used the MS Windows XP operating system, by simply clicking "alt+shift". It was sufficient then, in keyboard settings & character map - if I remember correctly - to get the international language switching option. However, I do not have the ability to do so with your rudimentary OS on the PC I am now working on.
So, what must I actually do with your OS to get that fast switching ability of constantly switching whenever I only need specific French characters while I use the American keyboard, which is my automatic daily practice, even when I write in French?
I do not want to type all the letters on a French keyboard, JUST SWITCH for specific French characters like "e" with different accents, "c" with a cedilla, etc., while using the English American keyboard each time after I have temporarily switched to French.
Thanks for your help.
