The most comfortable way to do them is to hold option + press a key. Hope this helped 🙂 I struggled a lot about writing accents and special characters in macOS with an Italian keyboard. How do you make a tilde on an Italian keyboard on a Mac? Just press and hold the Option key (the same as the Alt key), then press the “e” key, and then release them and press the letter key to which you’d like to add the accent.

The Option Key Accent Method on Mac The Option key helps you add all kinds of accent and diacritic marks to your text. How do you put a tilde over a letter on a Mac? With your personality color purple you inspire others with your creative thinking and your ability to deal positively with adversity. People are drawn to your charismatic and alluring energy. What does it mean when you call someone Purple?Ä«eing a personality color purple, you have a peaceful and tranquil quality and a quiet dignity about you. The graphic gives a representation of how the tilde character may appear when typed. It is on the same key as the back quote that resembles a squiggly line.

Many special characters needed in foreign languages have also logical kay combinations in US International kb like ß (German sharp-s) which is behind s (all three to be pressed simultaneously) or © ( c ) or ¿ ( ? ) etc. For instance, to type ä, you would type first the double-quote followed by letter 'a'. Double-quote gives an umlaut (diaeresis). Single-quote corresponds to acute accent, but also the cedilla like ç. Tilde corresponds to the tilde of course. Grave accent is grave accent. If this is not the case, two characters will appear, the accent character followed by another one. This assuming that the letter in question can indeed have an accent. The accent will only appear once you type the character after. Basically you type one of these characters before the letter that should receive an accent. When you hit the accent key, nothing appears on the screen. These are ~ (tilde), "(double-quote), '(single-quote), `(grave accent) and ^ ( circumflex accent). The main difference is 5 keys that become 'dead' keys. The beauty of the US International kb layout is that it does not really disturb typing in English in addition of providing access to various accented and special characters. It also respects fully the keyboard legends. Alternatively you may add the keyboard to your main typing language (English) without adding additional languages if you want to use US International keyboard all the time and type in different languages without switching language/keyboard layout back and forth all the time. Click Add, to add additional languages and make sure you select 'United States- International' keyboard layout.
Go to 'Languages' tab and click on 'Details' button. You may change your keyboard layout in Control Panel, Regional and Language Options.
#MAKING A TILDE ON PC WINDOWS#
The easiest way to type accented characters regularly is to change your keyboard layout through Windows and in your case, the one you are looking for is "US-International". I assume that your Inspiron has a normal US-layout keyboard in which case there is an easy solution.
