One way to solve your problem may be to use fontographer, a font editing
application, to make accents for keys that are not required for other
characters. Best search for a "dead" key, one that does not advance the cursor,
then the accent will be over the next letter typed.
Another solution is to use French system software - we would assume practical
placement of accents.
Much depends upon the didtribution of your exercises. Do you hope that people
on oter campuses may read your exercises? If so; a standard assignment of
characters including accents, is helpful.
One last idea - something called Mac Key Melon reassigns characters to desired
keys.
I hope that this gets the ball rolling. As I'm moving house this month I don't
have all my references available.
