In word (or wordpad) it's even easier to do accented characters, hit
ctrl+<accent key character> followed by the letter, for example é can
be produced by ctrl+' then e, <accent key character> is one of "'",
'"'. ':', '^', '`', '~', probably some others. And note that not all
accents work with all characters. The list is much larger than what
you get with jaws' jaws+4 though.

Shan,

Did you, by any chance, use voice dictation on that last
message. It reads "ship in the control key," which I take to mean SHIFT
and the CTRL, but I'm wondering if you actually meant SHIFT+ALT?


WinKey+Spacebar appears to be the default, see:
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-your-keyboard-layout-windows-10
and is the option documented on the keyboard shortcuts page for Windows
10:

It also seems that SHIFT+ALT will work, see:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-desktop/windows-10-keyboard-switch-language/f6473ac0-2006-4a51-aabe-124f4f1b3507

You can, of course, change the default, though and you have to
have more than one language defined for the system to allow switching. I
just haven't been able to find SHIFT+CTRL documented as an alternative.
