    Hmmm, on my new Windows 10 PC the Control-key combination does NOT work! So after research I found the best way: I right click the Taskbar, then choose "Touch Keyboard." With the cursor where I want it, I click on the Touch Keyboard, pick a letter, Click and Hold on it using the left mouse button, move the mouse to whatever accent I want, and click on it! Done!

    Microsoft should adopt Apple’s method of writing those accent marks. For those with a Mac, you just long press Option key with your intended key, revealing a pop up of all the accent marks for that letter, you select and continue typing. Very intuitive.

Since I made the video, I am no longer actively using a PC so am glad you have clarified the key combination for œ as in sœur, cœur, bœuf, etc. I'm not sure why it didn't work in the comment section... there's no problem typing that character on a Mac in Safari browser.

    I'm kind of pissed I'm just seeing this video right now. For years I tried to figure out how to do the accents. I eventually settled with downloading the language pack in my computer settings and then I bought a french keyboard to make it easier to type. That way is actually pretty good but a lot of time was wasted on my part not knowing the stuff in this video.
    I even did the write the accents on google translate and copy them into wordpad to use them later. This would have saved me 7 years ago when I took french in college.
