î håve Θe ASCII 3 chàräctër chart in ƒroñt of µ at αll thymes for when I get the ¥. Changing to a French character çet moves some of the letters/characters around. Ex: press and hold ALT, type 225, then release ALT = ß, 164=ñ, 236=∞... Yeah, it slows you down, but a lot less time than relearning a keyboard other than querty.
