Typing Spanish Accents or special characters
You know the problem of typing spanish accents? The solution is as easy as booking a Fluento Spanish course :-) Please hold down the [ALT]-Key on your keyboard and press the following numbers on your keypad:
á 160 | Á 181 |
é 130 | É 144 |
í 161 | Í 214 |
ñ 164 | Ñ 165 |
ó 162 | Ó 224 |
ú 163 | ü 129 |
¿ 168 | ¡ 173 |
Known issues with the method of using cryptic codes:
- Please, use the "numeric keypad" located to the side, rather than the numbers along the top. On a laptop computer you can activate them usually with an individual shortcut including the FN-Key.
- Sometimes, only one of the two Alt keys will work.
- If you still have troubles, just Copy and Paste the required symbol from this page.
