3.4 International Keyboards

The NETBOOK PRO keyboard is available in a number of language layouts, as shown on pages 44 to 48. The language in use must be properly configured by going to Start/Settings/Control Panel/Keyboard. Select the appropriate language from the dropdown list under the Language tab, and press OK.

You should also configure the properties in Start/Settings/Control Panel/Regional Settings for your language and region.

3.4.1 Specialized Accent Keys

Accent keys (also known as “dead keys”) can be accessed by using the appropriate <Fn> + alpha key combination.

For example, on the French and German keyboards, to produce the lowercase letter “a” with a tilde “~” accent, the following keystroke combination is used:

Press <Fn> + <v> and release (enables the tilde dead key), then press <a>. For an uppercase letter “A” with a tilde “~” accent:

First set the Caps Lock. Press <Fn> + <v> and release, then press <a>.

Pressing the space bar after a dead key causes the accent character alone to be printed. Pressing a key that cannot receive the accent after the dead key prints the accent followed by the key character (e.g. “~S”).
