The French accents (é, è, ë, ç) are not available in the WhiteFox Configurator. I thought they would be present in the ‘international’ or ‘simple Marco’s’ section, but they aren’t. Am I missing something or is this a deliberate feature?

@eekiehd I think that perhaps the configurator should be a bit more clear with this, but you are not really mapping out specific symbols to keys. You are assigning keycodes to them.

It is the OS that then converts these keycodes to symbols. (é, è, ë, ç) are assigned to the number key keycodes.

As you probably know, if you switch your keyboard layout to english (UK) your "ç" key will instead be interperated as "9" (because that's what that keycode is mapped to in the UK layout).

So to get those symbols just take a look at what they are mapped to in the UK or US ANSI layout. IIRC the configurator is setup to convert the symbols from the US ANSI layout to keycodes. So to map the "ç" key you would type "9" and so on.

I hope this clears it up for you.

EDIT:
I think that he international section if for keys with keycodes that do not exist in the US ANSI layout. So that's why those keys are not there.
