     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.
