Stephanie Coffin (ID: 000000b069c3a771) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/11/2022 Does not work. I watched the videos and followed the instructions but it is not working in Gmail using chrome. I am on a corporate gmail account so maybe that prevents it from working perhaps? I wish I could use this because it looks like it would be really handy to have. I will have to go back to cut & pasting (which is horrid) :(

C D (ID: 0000009a841a82ad) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/01/2021 does not work!! I have tried everything and I need the accents nearly all the times. Works with numeric keyboard but do not always have the numeric keyboard and accents are very important in French!!
