Switching the keyboard setting is a work around, but like aFrenchie said, it can be really interestng to find the right key for all the accents you don't use in English when they are not marked on the keyboard. A keyboard map is useful but only if it accurate to the program settings. But the other problem is that the standard American keyboard most widely available in North America doesn't have as many keys as the international keyboards, having larger shift keys instead. Here is a map of the French Canadian and Standard US keyboards, the letters are the same but some symbols are moved around.

You learn them anyways.
 I used to use German keyboard long time with Finnish kyeboard layout. Never had problem. And I need to face that everytime when I switch to US layout. The markings on my keyboard doesn't match then. I need to remember which key is which, but that again is quickly learn. As earlier said, no-one who uses computer in daily basis watches keyboard when typing. Once you have learn the layout, it's irrelevant if the markings there are correct or not. You could throw French keyboard in front of me and I wouldn't notice a thing. I'd keep writing like I have always done, since it's physically exactly same as this Finnish one. Of course, if you'd change my keyboard layout to French one, then I'd be in trouble for first couple weeks. It would take short while to learn where the characters are. But only short while. Like I said, I know US layout, too. I needed to learn it. I still don't remember every special character of it but I know the most common ones.

Maybe this will help
For accented characters the key below will allow anyone to quickly type the characters from using the codes below. Bad news is that you might have to memorize some of these codes. The only good reasons for this key is that you don't have to change settings on your computer, and you don't have to goto additional pages or load applets that might not work correctly. This works on all US default keyboards and is based off of the default font windows uses. To get these characters Press and hold the "alt" key, doesn't matter which one. Then enter the 4 digit code on your keypad. Release the Alt key and your character will appear. À = alt + 0192 Á = alt + 0193 Â = alt + 0194 Ã = alt + 0195 Ä = alt + 0196 Å = alt + 0197 Æ = alt + 0198 Ç = alt + 0199 È = alt + 0200 É = alt + 0201 Ê = alt + 0202 Ë = alt + 0203 Ì = alt + 0204 Í = alt + 0205 Î = alt + 0206 Ï = alt + 0207 Ð = alt + 0208 Ñ = alt + 0209 Ò = alt + 0210 Ó = alt + 0211 Ô = alt + 0212 Õ = alt + 0213 Ö = alt + 0214 Ù = alt + 0217 Ú = alt + 0218 Û = alt + 0219 Ü = alt + 0220 Ý = alt + 0221 ß = alt + 0223 à = alt + 0224 á = alt + 0225 â = alt + 0226 ã = alt + 0227 ä = alt + 0228 å = alt + 0229 æ = alt + 0230 ç = alt + 0231 è = alt + 0232 é = alt + 0233 ê = alt + 0234 ë = alt + 0235 ì = alt + 0236 í = alt + 0237 î = alt + 0238 ï = alt + 0239 ñ = alt + 0241 ò = alt + 0242 ó = alt + 0243 ô = alt + 0244 õ = alt + 0245 ö = alt + 0246 ù = alt + 0249 ú = alt + 0250 û = alt + 0251 ü = alt + 0252 ý = alt + 0253
