Subject: Re: [chat] Learning Spanish using NVDA

I really appreciate the help, and the add-on does work well for me. 
But I have a new problem: typing. I cannot type any of the special consonants. On the web I followed instructions to install the United States International keyboard, and so I can type these accented vowels:

 

                á = ‘ + a

                é = ‘ + e

                í = ‘ + i

                ó = ‘ + o

                ú = ‘ + u

 

But the web also says these should work and they do not:

                ü = ” + u

                ñ = ˜+ n

                ¡ = alt + !

                ¿ = alt + ?

 

I’ve tried with and without the shift key for the ! and ? marks. No luck! Could NVDA be interfering somehow, or is there another way to type these? I'm using Windows 10.

I know about holding down the alt and typing the numbers for unicode but that's really awkward.

 

Do you have any suggestions?
