Hello! I was wondering why the keyboard don´t have all the accents in every language? In Spanish keyboard (spain) I only have ñ and no other accents? this happens in a few languages does anyone know how to fix? thank you!

Hello Cthulhu,

That's normal. There are too many languages with too many different accents and special characters to include them all on a single keyboard. It's maybe possible, but it would not be very convenient for typing as it would require too long keystroke combinations. So about Spanish, you need a Spanish keyboard or at least a Spanish keyboard layout (just install / add it on your computer) to type all Spanish accents and chars.

Thank you so much for the response but that is my problem, I installed the spanish keyboard and I only have the one accent mark? I opened on-screen keyboard and pressed each key looking for it and nothing, is this just me? thank you so much:)
