Albert deKoninck (ID: 0000002743c13ee2) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 I like it very much, but since I use it mostly for French, I have a problem. This is what I get when I type `a, not a accent grave. The accent grave is broken. Please fix.

Mark Wightman (ID: 000000351e3bcd6a) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/20/2022 Anyone know how to type a macron with this extension? Is there a full guide to it anywhere?

System64MC (ID: 00000023eeb62fff) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/15/2021 It doesn't seem to work, it adds correctly but when I add it, it doesn't show up in the keyboards list.

Giovanni Casalini (ID: 00000020d70215d5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/21/2020 it works

R F Kearns (ID: 000000756d2f0f2a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/02/2020 It also does circumflex, umlaut, tilde and a bunch more. None of which is documented. Why do we have to depend on Wikipedia (QWERTY, United Kingdom, Chrome OS) for such essential information?
