My son follows an online typing course for school. This course is offert through a website.

  As my son advances, he needs to type characters like: è, é, ë, ü, ï.

We have not found a way to type these characters in a way it satisfies the typing course. I think the site expects you to type a sequence of characters.

For example, to type the é I think it expects an ' + e. We tried multiple ways of typing these characters but have not found a way to satisfy the course software.

These tricks did not work for me:

  • When you holddown on the e key the typingcourse software directly registers an e and it is counted as a wrong keystroke.
  • When you press the ' MacOS directly prints the character which is not the character the typingcourse software expects and it is counted as a wrong keystroke.

Is there a way to mimic the Windows way of doing the keystrokes? Preferably without any additional software installs like Keyboard Maestro of similar.

And yes, I have send an email to the supplier but have not heard anything yet.
