I have found an amazing add-on which you can use with Google Chrome. It's called Accentplus. Ex: if you want to type ''ñ'' all you have to do is press n followed with ctrl. This goes for all accents. Check it out!

There are several previous threads on this one if you want to type in the search box under "ask a question" and type in Spanish keyboard, but you can go into your control panel and set an option for typing in Spanish so you can go back and forth with a click.

Here is one of the many helpful links:

Yes, this topic comes up frequently. if you filled in your profile, it would help the members of the the forum to provide answers that are more meaningful to you. This is an international group centered on language, mainly Spanish but also English because those are the two languages used here so it helps someone to respond to you if they know your native language and about where you are in the process of learning the second (or third?, fourth?) language. If you are a native English speaker but often write in Spanish, the best method of entering Spanish characters that I have found is to use the United States - International keyboard. I had to download this from Microsoft. You can do an internet seach to find out how to do this based on the operating and writing application that you are using. With that keyboard you simply hit the apostophe key and the the accented vowel that you need. If you actually want an apostrophe, you hit that key and then the space bar.
