Fond memories of having a handy cheatsheet printed out for doing homework and chatting on MSN Messenger, until of course I memorized them (or maybe I printed it for the benefit of others).
It was always odd to me that é was out of sequence:
Alt+160 => á
Alt+130 => é
Alt+161 => í
Alt+162 => ó
Alt+163 => ú
Alt+164 => ñ
Alt+165 => Ñ
Most people with US keyboards had no idea how to type ñ/Ñ, the most important out of the bunch.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoIt's even better on macOS. opt-n <char> for ñõã mark opt-e <char> for éíóú mark opt-i <char> for îûôê mark opt-u <char> for üöïë mark Add a shift to capitalize it. I have an AutoHotkey script to get this on Windows since it's so second-nature by now. Fwiw I don't think ñ is any more important than the other accents, even in Spanish. Unless we're talking about año vs ano. That might be why it has a dedicated key.

- esd_g0d 2y ago> It was always odd to me that é was out of sequence Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it is the only one of those that is found in French, which may have been supported earlier than Spanish. I'd look at ç, è, à for further evidence.
