It's funny because Spanish is my native language and I rarely use the _eñe_ (for us is a whole different letter, not just n+tilde, although is basically the palatalized n. From the always trusty Wikipedia: "Unlike many other letters that use diacritic marks (such as Ü in Catalan, Spanish and German and Ç in Catalan, French and Portuguese), Ñ in Spanish, Galician, Basque, Asturian, Leonese, Guarani and Filipino is considered a letter in its own right, has its own name (in Spanish: eñe), and its own place in the alphabet (after N). Historically it came from a doubled N. Its alphabetical independence is similar to the Germanic W, which came from a doubled V. "), my keyboard is in English and I haven't bothered to use the international option for Windows (I know it exists but the first time I tried I didnt succeed and didnt want to waste more time). I just use 'nh' _a la_ Portuguese but from time to time some native Spanish speaker gives me grief because of that, so now I resort to copy/paste when writing an online text that is going to be read by several people.Lame, I know.
