Ongoing Spanish accents

Question

Please see my post on the International Cafe link.

I have a new laptop with an English keyboard. Obvious question comes next - how do I type in letters with Spanish accents and tildes please. Previously I had a Spanish keyboard - all self-contained.

Many thanks

Answer 1

My Windows is in English; I purchased it with my computer in England. But there is an option in Windows (and Macs) where you change you keyboard, and then you press a key... and you get this:

Ñ

Also, you press a key, and then vowel, and you get this:

Á

I suggest you try to reconfigure your keyboard. It is easy, quick and efficient, and you can go back to your original keyboard within a second.

Answer 2

This link explains how to set up international keyboard options on your computer. It works great.

Answer 3

Nicole-

With US International selected as your keyboard:

Holding down Ctrl and Alt while pressing ? gives you ¿. No?

Hold down the right side Alt key while pressing n gives you ñ. No?

Pressing ' makes nothing happen. But then if you follow it with an e, you get é. No?

Those things should be happening for you.

Answer 4

I have done this repeatedly with no success. I just tried again. U.S. International is my default keyboard and I followed the instructions exactly.

I just don't know what I'm missing or doing wrong.
