Thanks, I already use the compose key system for words like fiancée and 
garçon when I am writing in French. I have left the AltGr key as my 
compose key, but I do know that I can change it easily.

I will take a look at your suggestion that the Caps Lock key is ideal 
for this. Certainly I have never considered that key at all for that.
