I wonder if there's a Spanish equivalent of an AZERTY keyboard, or at least some software that can re-map/re-assign a keypress. hmmUncle Mort said:I could never be arsed to do that. When I'm writing in French I unplug my qwerty keyboard and plug in my azerty keyboard.

Thanks. I tried the above, but should I expect to see a Spanish keyboard layout appear somewhere on the screen? How do I know where the ñ key is, for example?Carwash said:You shouldn't need any special software. If you use Windows, you can remap the keyboard from the Control Panel under 'Regional and Language Options', and switch between layouts from the taskbar.
Gotcha. I don't know the Spanish keyboard layout, but I fumbled around and found that the ñ has been assigned to the ";/:" key! So thanks for that.Uncle Mort said:Maz if you know the keyboard layout in Spanish by heart you can just tell Windows that you are inputting in a different language and just use the same keyboard. As far as I recall, you just have to add extra languages as input options (in international settings?) and this gives you s drop down for easy selection. I'm at home at the moment and I'm on a Mac so I can't check, but in Windows XP, I just select the language from the bar at the bottom right hand of the screen.

OK, OK, but the thread title "Cool thingies you can do on a keyboard by pressing combinations of alt+various numbers I don't know what they're really called but I've seen the word ascii and can't be bothered to find out what it means or refers to" would have been a tad too long.Carwash said:Talk about a misnomer - all the characters so far mentioned in this thread lie outside the ASCII range!
It's American Standard Code Instruction (?) something or other. Doh I can't be bothered to look it up either.Fnaar said:I've seen the word ascii and can't be bothered to find out what it means or refers to" would have been a tad too long.
