Okay. So I am trying to learn Spanish again, and trying to make those special characters on a USA keyboard, turned out to be easier then I thought, once you know the tricks. Thanks Jacobo!
Windows Users can try this. I have NOT tried this.
So we need to create a compose character key. Here is how I got there, but I will show you a picture too!
System/Preferences/Keyboard
then: Layouts/USA/Options
find: Compose Key Position, and check: Right ctrl
It should look like this:
So to get ñ — you hit: the compose character (right control, the tilde ~, and then n)
For á. é. í, ó, ú – right control + apostrophe, then the vowel.
similarly, Á,É,Í,Ó,Ú right control + apostrophe, then SHIFT and vowel.
Need ¿ Easy! right control + SHIFT question twice!
Or how about ¡ — yes. right control + SHIFT ! twice.
German Character like ß – easy! right control plus s + s.
å – right control + o + a.
Pretty neat! Thanks Jacobo for helping me work this out!
