French accents with keyboard shortcuts

Btw if I use French input source while using English keyboard, do you know a way/shortcut to briefly show keyboard viewer in different language than the active input source so I can see quickly where is a certain character I might not be sure about?

macbook pro - How to show or hide Keyboard Viewer with a keyboard shortcut? - Ask Different looks promising

Maybe this last idea: In the cases where you need only two different characters, eg a and à, you can use a key sequence. eg a typed twice = à.
Typed once (normal) = a.

If you need aa often and don't want it to become à automatically, use a sequence with aa+space. This should eliminate interference.

Guess i found a solution.

Create a new keyboard shortcut then in the action search for: Insert/Type/Paste custom Text and write your character.

Im using function+control+letter.
