[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In daily use of a Mac we may\u00a0need to write sentences like: “Jos\u00e9 Lu\u00eds lives en Espa\u00f1a” or “Spa\u00df f\u00fcr Gro\u00df und Klein”. Typing some characters may seem complicated, but it’s not.<\/p>\n

Accented characters<\/h2>\n

As for the variants of the vowels and the “c” letter, just hold down the key for a few seconds and it will show up a menu from which, by selecting the desired number, you can quickly insert the requested variation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Notice:\u00a0the menu is not displayed when the “Key\u00a0Repeat<\/strong>” slider\u00a0is disabled in the “Keyboard<\/strong>” pane of “System Preferences…<\/strong>“:<\/p>\n
