Typing Spanish Letters and Accents

[jelfrink]

Is there a way for students to type in the accents in Spanish other than copying it from a word processing program?

If you are on a Windows PC, you could use the Character Map program that is built in to the OS:

Character Map Windows 7/Vista

You can also use the Alt key on your keyboard...for example, this ---> ¿     ... is Alt+0191 on the numerical keyboard.

 @jelfrink ​, for your consideration, we've had some lengthy conversations about this very thing in the Find Answers​ and Canvas Feature Ideas​ spaces:

Students Typing in French and Spanish

  (now archived, but not completely off the radar)

You might want to add a description of your use case(s) to the conversation that remains ongoing as part of the archived feature idea.
