maddymcD -

After looking on lots and LOTS of websites, I have finally found a formula for accents that will work on my Mac.

How these work - Press the 'Option' key and the letter specific to each type of accent at the same time, and then let go and press the letter (L) that you would like the accent to be over.

These are how to do the different types of accents, and they will work on the letters

'n,N,o,O,a,A'.

Type of accent, Sample, Formula

Acute, Ó ó, Option+E, L(letter that the accent will be over)

Circumflex, Ô ô, Option+I, L(letter)

Grave, Ò ò, Option+`(symbol to the left of number 1), L (letter)

Tilde, Õ õ, Option+N, L (letter)

Umlaut, Ö ö, Option+U, L (letter)

Example: To input the letter Ó, hold down the Option key, then the E key. Release both keys and then type a capital O.

I don't know if these will work on windows or other computers, but for all those people out their that own macs, it is the formula for you!

If this helps you, please recommend me. Thanks :) -maddymcD

To put an accent over a letter on a computer, you can often use keyboard shortcuts. For example, to type á, you can press and hold the Alt key while typing 0225 on the numeric keypad. On mobile devices, you can typically tap and hold the letter to see accent options.

How do put the spanish accent on the i on a keyboard?

It depends on what keyboard you are using (different countries have different keyboards - especially when they speak different languages).If you are using a US keyboard, there is no option to type í naturally. In Microsoft products (such as Word, etc.) there is a convention on PCs to use Ctrl + ' , followed by the letter over which you want the accent to form. On Apples, the convention is Apple + e, followed by the letter over which you want the accent to form.If you are using a Spanish keyboard, press the acute accent key and then press the letter over which you want the accent to form.
