I don't think I have that key on my keyboard!

You do. You just don't know how to use it.

You need to use one of the English International keyboard layouts.

If I press the right alt button, I can type this: ¹²³¤€’¥×¬áßðfghïœø¶ǽœ©®bñµç

If I press those buttons and the shift button, it's this: ¡½¾¦Á§ÐFGHÏόذŒ¢®BѵÇ

I used to use an international keyboard layout when I used Windows. The option is there in your layouts, but I don't know enough about current Windows to tell you which one to choose or even where to find the settings.

Mine is (and it varies, but it's pretty similar) "English (Intl, with AltGr Dead Keys)".

It'll likely be labeled differently in Windows. It's even sometimes named something different between Linux distros. So...

For the record, the right hand side alt button is known as the AltGr key. It's actually labeled on some keyboards, just not here in the US.

I think I will just leave it on the default one, I know what to expect from that

If you use the one I use, you don't really have to learn anything important - immediately.

There are other keyboard layouts that you press one key and then another and that's when the character will show up. So, every time you type a ' it waits to see if the next letter pressed is an e (or similar) so that it can output an é.

The keyboard layout I use is excellent. If you didn't know, you could type on it without ever realizing that it's got a different layout. It otherwise functions exactly like your layout - until you press the AltGr key. The AltGr is the key combination. There's like 40 keys with characters and this basically triples that.

I only use a few of them regularly, like ° © ³. I don't have the whole layout memorized.
