Same problem as you: accents aren't available on En keyboards (or
by tricks I ignore). I use to pick them from various documents with the
mouse - or use a Fr keyboard.
Keyboards' layouts have been originally dictated by typewtiters'
mechanics: to prevent the collisions of the hammers, letters which can
appear close together in words are distant on the keyboard.
In En/US keyboards, digits, / and # are lower case, which is
objectively more convenient to write programs.
