Remember that a dead-key combination means that you press two keys one after the other (that is, press the first, release it, then press the second and release it) in order to form a single character. Typically, you press a key for the accent you want, then a key for the letter to apply the accent to.

Ne pas oublier qu'une combinaison à touche morte suppose qu'on appuie sur deux touches l'une après l'autre (c'est-à-dire frapper la première, la relâcher et appuyer sur la seconde) de façon à obtenir un seul caractère. Habituellement, on appuie sur la touche réservée à l'accent désiré, et ensuite sur celle de la lettre à laquelle l'accent sera affecté.
