not all accent marks are options on site

Question

There are some vocab words that require a u with the two dots over it but that isn't an option on the site. Will this be added or is there a way to make those dots on a regular American keyboard? Doesn't happen much but has cost me a few errors on the recall section.

Answer 1

You can also get all these twiddly bits from

Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map

but it's a tad more complicated than what Mac quotes.

Hello. This program created by one of our fellow SpanishDict users that you can run and which I always have on allows you to insert accents by pressing the Windows key and the vowel over which you want the accent, the tilde on the n by pressing the Windows key and the N, and the double dots over the u by pressing the Windows key and the letter Y. I much prefer this option to changing my keyboard. You do have to run it every time you restart your computer, but you can just leave it in your downloads folder and I find it no problem at all.
