==Using the "right-Alt"==
 
 
 
Once installed, the international keyboard then allows you to do the following:
 
 
 
* Add the accents to the vowels, press the right-Alt key at the same time as the vowel.
 
<br>
 
Example: To type á, press the right-Alt key and the a at the same time. If you're capitalizing to make Á, you'll have to press three keys simultaneously — the a, right-Alt and the shift key.
 
 
 
* Add special characters.
 
<br>
 
Example: Angular quotation markets (« and ») can be created by pressing the right-Alt key and one of the bracket keys simultaneously. The inverted question mark (¿) and inverted exclamation point (¡) are also done similarly. Press right-Alt and the 1 key (which also is used for the exclamation point) for the inverted exclamation point; for the inverted question mark, press right-Alt and the question mark key at the same time.
