Writing a text with characters that do not incorporate the keyboard may seem like an impossible task, but the truth is that it is not. A good example of this is English keyboards, in which the Ñ key does not exist or on keyboards where accents cannot be written, however, those of us who write in Spanish need them in an essential way. So what do we do when we don’t have it at hand? In this OneHowTo article we explain step by step and very easily how to write accents with the keyboard.
Steps to follow:
1 If you have a numeric keypad area on your keyboard, you will be able to write accents more directly with the keyboard . In the event that you have a numeric keyboard integrated with the alphabetic one, make sure you can write the numbers without any problem, if you can’t, you may have to activate it through the “fn” or “nun lk” key depending on the device with which count. Once you have made sure that you have active numbers, then you can start the process.
2 If you want to write any of these letters or vowels (ü, é, á, í, ó, ú) you must hold down the “ALT” key on your Windows computer , then enter the number indicated in each letter using the keyboard of the left.
- ALT + 129 = ü
- ALT + 130 = is
- ALT + 160 = á
- ALT + 161 = í
- ALT + 162 = oh
- ALT + 163 = ú
- ALT + 164 = ñ
- ALT + 0193 = Á
- ALT + 0201 = Is
- ALT + 0205 = Í
- ALT + 0211 = Ó
- ALT + 0218 = Ú
- ALT + 0220 = Ü
3 If you want to write any of these symbols or ñ (ñ, Ñ, ¿, ¡) you must hold down the “ALT” key on your Windows computer , then enter the number indicated in each letter using the keyboard on the left.
- ALT + 164 = Ñ
- ALT + 165 = Ñ
- ALT + 168 = ¿
- ALT + 173 = ¡
