Accents and tildes on a MacBook Pro

Question

I have a MacBook Pro and I don't know how to type the accent marks needed to put in the answers for the Recall (and I'm guessing the Writing section). Because of this I end up being "incorrect" even though I put in the correct answer but without the accents, etc.

Answer 1

Kiwi is right, it is so much easier on a Mac.

Here are the short cut keys:

á = Opt + e, then a

é = Opt + e, then e

í = Opt + e, then i

ó = Opt + e, then o

ú = Opt + e, then u

ñ = Opt + n, then n

ü = Opt + u, then u

The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:

¡ = Opt + 1

¿ Opt + shift + ?

Answer 2

It's nice and easy on the Mac - it's just a matter of holding down the option key and pressing e and then press whichever vowel you want the accent on.

For the tilde on the ñ it's the same dealio, option + n then the n key again.

Hope that helps
