Spanish keyboard techniques

Recommended Posts

Hola fellow Spanish students,

What is the best technique for quick and easy creation of special spanish characters using an ordinary English keyboard? I have found that comprehensible Spanish cannot really be written without the proper accents, etc. (é, «, ñ).

I have been using this page:

http://www.starr.net/is/type/altnum.htm

You type Alt plus a three or four number sequence on the numpad (with numlock on) to generate special characters (see below).

If I was really dedicated, I would go all the way with a Spanish keyboard and change the default language/keyboard on my system (Windows XP: Control Panel->Regional_and_Language_Settings). But I use my system primarily for English.

Thanks,

Kramer

Alt key plus 3 or 4 digits on numpad:

160 á

130 é

161 í

164 ñ

162 ó

163 ú

129 ü

0193 Á

144 É

0205 Í

165 Ñ

0211 Ó

0218 Ú

154 Ü

168 ¿

173 ¡
