How do I type the special characters in Spansh on my laptop?

Question

I am talking about the é í ó ú ñ Ñ á ¿ ¡.... I know how to get them while on my pc but cannot seem to find them on my laptop.

Answer 1

If you are familiar and use the numeric keypad to use them on your desktop then it is the exact same on the laptop except you must press "alt" then the "fn o fnc" key and hold them both before typing the number in order. Granted some programs will not let you use this method but for the most part you should be fine. If you are not aware of the key codes they are as follows:
é alt+fn+0233
í alt+fn+161
ó alt+fn+162
ú alt+fn+0250
ñ alt+fn+164
Ñ alt+fn+165
á alt+fn+160
¿ alt+fn+168
¡ alt+fn+0161

if you need more i have included the source for all of the ones you would need. Also remember that you must have your numlock on for this to work

Answer 2

it depends on what laptop u have
for example, i owned a compaq laptop and i had to press fn and then the keyboard had blue little numbers than i had to press 164 163 162 161 160 etc, with the fn button pressed.
if u own a mac, opt+e and then the letter or opt n and N for ñ...

i also used a sony laptop and toshiba and had to press fn alt and then the numbers i mentioned before in different color usually in the UIOLKJM letters

Answer 3

i've got faith so you might use the numbers on your quantity pad. On a workstation, the quantity pad generally overlaps with the letters. you will in all possibility might desire to instruct on the num-lock key and use those.

Answer 4

you cant do it on a laptop because you need an actual numeric pad for that like the one on a pc, sorry :(
