Spanish Character Codes For Mac Adobe

Before switching to Apple Mac, I was a PC/Windows user virtually since its inception. Already I am missing many of the features you can get on Windows, one of which seems to be the use of ASCII codes.

When I was typing in Spanish on my PC and wanted to use á or ñ, for example, all I had to do was hold down the Alt key and type either 0225 or 0241 and immediately those characters dropped into place in whatever application I was using. (And I only had to learn about 10 codes and that was Spanish covered!) But in Apple it seems incredibly more cumbersome. I have to take my hand away from my keyboard, go to the mouse, in Safari go to Edit, then Special Characters, then go through the various lists to find the character I need, then use the mouse to click Insert. Phew, what a palaver! And it's a different menu in Word, Excel, etc.

I know you can drop down various language specific keyboards which I have done from time to time, but that's irritating if you are switcihing between languages frequently.

This chart displays the ALT and HTML codes, both lower case and upper case, for letters in languages such as French, German, and Spanish.

So, does anyone know how I can use ASCII codes thus enabling me to keep typing without having to take my hands off the keyboard? This will speed up my output considerably.

Any help gratefully received.

Method 1: Google Input Tools (Recommended)

Google Input Tools is an extension for Chrome browser and Chromebooks. You will need to be using Chrome and have the extension installed before use. See the Setting Up Google Input Tools page for instructions on installing the extension and adding keyboards.

After you've installed the Google Input Tools, click the icon in the toolbar to switch to a Spanish keyboard.

Using the Spanish keyboard (

)

The spanish keyboard is almost the same as an English keyboard except with a few additional shortcuts:

• To type an accented character, type an apostrophe ('), followed by the letter. For example, to get á, type ' and then a.
• To type ñ, tap the semicolon (;) key.
• To type ¡, tap the equal sign (=) key
• To type ¿, hold down shift and tap the equal sign (=) key

You can also click the corresponding key on the virtual keyboard that appears.

Using the US International keyboard (

)

While holding down the Ctrl and Alt keys, tap the letter you'd like the Spanish character of, e.g.

• Ctrl + Alt + a = á
• Ctrl + Alt + 1 = ¡
• Ctrl + Alt + / = ¿
• Ctrl + Alt + n =ñ

Method 2: Numerical Shortcodes

On a Windows Keyboard

Spanish Character Codes Windows

When typing characters on a Windows computer, always use the numeric (extended) keypad on the right of your keyboard and not the row of numbers at the top. (On a laptop without a keypad, turn on 'num lock' and use the function key with the virtual number pad, e.g. Alt+Fn+0225)

á = Alt 0225í = Alt 0237ú = Alt 0250ü = Alt 0252Á = Alt 0193Í = Alt 0205Ú = Alt 0218Ü = Alt 0220é = Alt 0233ó = Alt 0243ñ = Alt 0241¿ = Alt 0191É = Alt 0201Ó = Alt 0211Ñ = Alt 0209¡ = Alt 0161' jsaction='rcuQ6b:WYd;'>
