To type special characters or accents using the ALT key on a Windows computer, you can follow these steps:
1. Make sure NUM LOCK is on. This is typically located on the top right side of your keyboard.
2. Hold down the ALT key on the bottom left side of your keyboard.
3. While still holding the ALT key, press the corresponding numbers on your number pad (the group of numbers on the right side of your keyboard) for the character or accent you want to type.
For example, to type "á" you would hold down ALT and then press 0-2-5-5 on the number pad. The result will be an "á".
Here are the corresponding numbers for some common accents and characters:
- à = ALT + 0133
- â = ALT + 0131
- ä = ALT + 0132
- á = ALT + 0169
- é = ALT + 0130
- è = ALT + 0138
- ê = ALT + 0136
- ë = ALT + 0137
- ï = ALT + 0139
- î = ALT + 0140
- ì = ALT + 0141
- í = ALT + 0161
- ô = ALT + 0147
- ö = ALT + 0148
- ó = ALT + 0162
- ò = ALT + 0149
- û = ALT + 0150
- ù = ALT + 0151
- ú = ALT + 0163
- ü = ALT + 0129
- ~ = ALT + 0126
- ñ = ALT + 0164
- ¡ = ALT + 0173
- ¿ = ALT + 0168
- ç = ALT + 0135
- œ = ALT + 0156
Please note that these ALT codes may not work in all applications or on all systems. It's always a good idea to test them in the specific program you are using.
If you find it difficult to remember these codes, you can create stickers with the codes and place them around your screen for easy reference.
The instructions provided are for Windows computers. For other operating systems, such as Mac or Linux, the method to type special characters or accents may be different.
