It might not be much use to you, but for the record, I can get accented
characters on my UK keyboard with various combinations of Alt-Gr and
deadkeys (if that's what they're called). The ones relevant for French are:
"Alt-Gr + semicolon", "e" -> é 
"Alt-Gr + apostrophe", "e" -> ê
"Alt-Gr + hash (#)", "e" -> è
"Alt-Gr + left square bracket", "i" -> ï

It's not as convenient as having dedicated keys for accented characters, but
you might find it useful if you only need them occasionally.

Regards,
Philip
