Typing Spanish characters in Mac keyboards

I want to share this information with other spanish speaking users of Apple computers. Yes, this can be found in several places all over the web but republishing it once again won’t hurt anyone:

  • á = Opt + e, then a
  • é = Opt + e, then e
  • í = Opt + e, then i
  • ó = Opt + e, then o
  • ú = Opt + e, then u

For the ñ, hold down the Option key while you type the n; release and type n again.

  • ñ = Opt + n, then n

To place the diaeresis over the u, hold down the Option key while pressing the u key; release and type u again.

  • ü = Opt + u, then u

The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:

  • ¡ = Opt + 1
  • ¿ Opt + shift + ?

¡Allí está! Realmente útil, ¿no? :)
