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 181

é 130

É 144

í 161

Í 214

ñ 164

Ñ 165

ó 162

Ó 224

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.
