How to make a tilde on a spanish keyboard set to English?

4

That's right. I bought a Spanish computer, and set it to English. And I can't find the tilde.

This is Mac OS X

With a spanish keyboard and the Spanish (ISO) layout I get the ~ character with alt + ñ.

Spanish keyboards lack the ~ key if I remember correctly. You could try option + n followed by a space or option + 4 followed by space. On a Spanish (Latin) keyboard it should be option + +

If everything fails activate the Unicode Input Source in the OS X Preferences. You can then hold down option and type: 0 0 7 E. I have to switch a lot from the German Input Source and the Unicode Hex one. It isn't comfortable, but at least it works.

Wow great answer. But unfortunately none of those options worked. I'm looking for an app to take care of it now. – Trip – 2012-03-29T22:31:08.450
