I can't fix it to bring up the contextual menu back, but in the meantime, you can press command + control + space to show the visualizer of characters and you can insert your characters increased from there.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to type Spanish letters

    I have the Blackberry Curve 8320. I downloaded all the options for Spanish-language and install it on my device. I'm looking for a way to type letters with accents (i.e. a, n, e, etc.). I can't understand how to do, however. I tried the following things:

    • Enter symbols and their research.
    • Hold the letters to see if they would change the new letters (it worked on my old phone, but it wasn't Pantech, BlackBerry).
    • By repeatedly pressing the letters.

    Also, before anyone asks, I'm sure the input language is Spanish-oriented. Help, please!

  • How to type Spanish accents

    How to type accents in Spanish on my mac keyboard - what is options?

    There are two methods. A methods depends a bit if you have typamatic keys defined in keyboard preferences.

    The simplest is to type, at full speed, Option-e + < vowel > looking for regardless of the regular vowel with an accent:

    e, a, i, o, u.

    The second is the key < vowel > and in a short time a selection of possible accented characters will be displayed above it and can be clicked of course, but typists will want to note the gray numbers under each variation and type the number appropriate rather than having to mouse to get what you want.

    Now the alt key and pressing the code of the character on the numeric keypad will enter this character. The language of the keyboard in use must support entering into this character. If your keyboard supports the code appears on the right side of the status bar in the table of characters on the other that this section of the status bar is empty. The status bar also empty us for well known characters with keys, as the letters from A to Z.

    However, there are two ways to enter the codes. The point to remember here that the characters are the same for the first 127 codes. The difference is that if the first number you entered is a zero not. If this is the code inserts the character of the character set running on the other it will insert a character in the OEM character set. More than 255 codes enter the unicode character and are in decimal form. The seized items are converted to OEM for Dos and ANSI or Unicode, applications depending on the application of the window. See conversion between decimal and hexadecimal.

    In programs based on the control of Rich Edit 3, such as Wordpad, enter the unicode hexadecimal number in the document, and then press Alt + X. This allows to convert the number you type in the unicode character. Select a character, and then press Alt + X to convert this character into its unicode number. The code is displayed on the left side of the status bar in the table of characters in the form U + , for example, U + 0061 for the letter a.

In the back by pressing on the Ctrl + or Alt + can enter, issue a Terminal command (for example, Ctrl + M or Alt + 13 is identical to the enter key) command, or accept it as a terminal command (it will appear as ^ M for further processing). In some back text editors, for example Edit provided with Windows (type change in Start - Run), enter the character in the document after pressing Ctrl + P , then the Ctrl + a letter> character. Enter in Windows (for example Alt + 8) inserts the ANSI or Unicode code for this character.

    It works in two modes. Right Alt or Shift + right Alt + another key and also by pressing the keys dead (such as accents). On keyboards, the Right Alt key is called Alt Gr.

    Right Alt is the same key as Ctrl + Left Alt on the US International keyboard, and on almost all keyboards except the standard US keyboards where the keys left and right are treated the same. There is a reason why Ctrl + Alt must not be used to define keyboard shortcuts. Also F12 should also not be used for hotkeys since it is reserved for the attachment of a debugger.

  • How to type the hash and symbols

    Hi all

    Hope someone can help me here. Here is the story:

    My Macbook Pro was stolen recently / 2009. I replaced it with a Macbook Pro Retina early 2015 model bought on Ebay UK.

    When he arrived, I discovered that he has a U.S. keyboard, rather than a UK keyboard. In fact, I use a French AZERTY keyboard, so it makes no difference to me, I thought it would be simple just to set it on a French keyboard in system preferences, like I did with my old UK Macbook Pro model. It is indeed easy, so I bought a silicone keyboard cover so that it now looks like a QWERTY keyboard - well.

    However, I can not type the symbol or the symbol of the hashtag.

    I have two Apple keyboards with my iMac, a USB keypad with digital, wireless one. Both are original Apple keyboards purchased in France. Both have the to and hashtag at the top left just below the ESC key.

    However, if I hit this key on the Macbook Pro I get < and >, which is in fact exactly what is shown on the cover of Silicon.

    I can't just work how to type and # (I copied and pasted to add here)

    I even tried to go to the System Preferences/keyboard/text tab, where omw is used as an example to write "on my way". I tried to adjust to produce aa and hh to produce #, but none of these shortcuts not work either!

    I rarely need to use < or > and regularly need to use and #, so really this button to do what he does on a normal keyboard AZERTY French Apple.

    Is it possible that I can do this?

    If not, are there keyboard shortcuts for a US value entered French keyboard? I searched online, but none of the suggestions work.

    Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone can offer.

    Heather

    System Preferences > keyboard > keyboard component...

    ... check the box that says Viewer keyboard Show [√] [and others] in the menu bar

    Close and save the changes if requested.

    Go to the menu bar and search the new symbol that looks like a small window with a clover inside key.

    Choose Show Keyboard Viewer.

    Now, a replica of the tiny keyboard appears on the screen. Hold down the modifier (shift, option, control) keys and it will show you which can generate each key.
