How to write "Avé l'accent, té!"

Big problem for users of English keyboards (also known as 'qwerty') is to put the accents on the right letters in French. You could as I do, change the input of your keyboard for an "azerty" one, but this means memorising the keys, or have it easy with this Canadian website where accents are added for you. 
On reflexion, I maybe should not say that to my students ( well at least learn from it)

From this:
La ou le francais n'est pas accentue,
 il y a de la gene,
 mais quand le systeme m'accentue,
 je suis moins gene!

To this:
Là où le français n'est pas accentué,
il y a de la gêne,
mais quand le système m'accentue,
je suis moins gêné

PS: about the title, "avé l'accent" is the way the people in the South of France are said to speak according to the Parisians.
