At any time, press CRTL + Shift + Space on your keyboard to cycle between added Input Methods (keyboard languages). You will see the input method in the lower right-hand corner of your Desktop cycle between US and US International (shown as IN/INT/INTL).

With your input method set to US International keyboard (IN/INT/INTL), follow the combinations below to add the desired accent mark to a letter.
