    to switch to azerty/qwerty you press alt+left shift
    otherwise to reach a field you press tab and it will move you within the form
    left shift+tab to go back to the previous field

    Thank you for your quick responses

    syrus, my keyboard types well in qwerty but it's at the level of special characters that it gets stuck
    I'm trying to type tab but nothing changes, I must be doing it wrong...

    lermite, the problem with your approach is that I don't know the language of my keyboard, so if I set it for example to the English (United States) keyboard, then the specific characters don't correspond even though my keyboard will be in qwerty

    If your keyboard is not accurate even when you are in QWERTY, it means there are several possible configurations, e.g. US QWERTY, UK QWERTY, etc.
    To see what is installed..
    >> Start >> Settings >> Control Panel >> Regional Options.
    Languages >> Details. There you can see the installed keyboards; if you have EU, it’s probably the other one or vice versa.
    You state what kind of keyboard you have.
