Writing in Spanish: I think you are referring to the "Alt Codes" for the accented letters and the "enye". Here's how to type each accented letter:
á=(Alt key)+160(on the number pad)
é= Alt+0233
í= Alt+161
ó= Alt+162
ú= Alt+163
ñ= Alt+164
Ñ= Alt+165
¿= Alt+168
¡= Alt+169

Las que faltan: Á = Alt + 181
É = Alt + 144
Í = Alt + 214
Ó = Alt + 244
Ú = Alt + 233
ü = Alt + 129
Ü = Alt + 154

that's how you do it on a mac...an easier way on a pc (other than alt codes) is get a spanish keyboard layout and type with a spanish layout instead of american/english

You can also use ctrl to add an accent, but that only works in Word. Hold ctrl and ' at the same time, then type the letter. And to get the n w/ the tilde... ctrl, shift, ~ at the same time, then n.

Those with Fedora can install the spanish rpm and type without using numeric keypad (as in mac)
Alt + A = Á
Alt+a = á
Alt+q = ñ
Alt+i = é
Alt+r = ò
Alt+z = ú
Alt+Shift+? = ¿
and so on ...

when I hold ALT and try to type numbers or letters, an error sound chimes.
When i do this in WORD or OUTLOOK, it works fine. is there some magical way to do this in a web browser? this has been bugging me, I hate having to switch between Word and the browser to copy and paste those characters... AYYYYY
