No Spanish keyboard on your laptop? Type or click your way to perfect á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, ü, ¿ and ¡ — then copy your text wherever you need it.
Prefer typing over clicking? Hold the key combo below while the text box is focused.
| Character | Windows / Linux | Mac |
|---|---|---|
| á é í ó ú | Ctrl + the vowel, twice quickly* | Option + E, then the vowel |
| ñ | Use the on-screen key, or Alt + 164 (numpad) | Option + N, then N |
| ¿ | Use the on-screen key, or Alt + 168 (numpad) | Option + Shift + / |
| ¡ | Use the on-screen key, or Alt + 173 (numpad) | Option + 1 |
* Windows shortcuts vary by keyboard layout and language settings — the on-screen keyboard above always works regardless of your system setup, which is why it's there.
