Non-Dvorak Keyboard Layout ¿¿

[Guest InOverMyHead]

I want to add a new keyboard layout (Control Panel - Keyboard - Input

Locals) for Spanish characters. I am tired of doing the Alt-Keypad thing. I

note that Microsoft has a huge number of keyboard options. Is there a

graphic somewhere that corresponds to each of these variations? Without a

guide, its really a guessing game which of the several "Spanish" layouts

will best fit my needs.

 

Thanks for any help¡¡

Non-Dvorak? You mean QUERTY?

ControlPanel/Keyboard. Go to InputLocales/Properties select United

States International. Type as your grandma did with an old typewriter,

that is accent vowel or tilde n or apostrophe c to get c-cedilla etc.

Here is a map of all Microsoft keyboard layouts. You must use

Internet Explorer to view them.

Great. Just what I was looking for. It has two Spanish layouts which

correspond to the two Spanish "Keyboard Layouts-IME" options - - - but I

still don't understand what difference there is between the 20 or so Spanish

"Input Locales" offered on the same tab. Maybe I'll try the Microsoft

Keyboard Layout Creator and see what it can do for me. I just want access to

Spanish a-e-i-o-u-n-c-? and ! characters. Maybe I'll modify my regular

layout (English - US?) to be accented with a preceding Alt character. (?)

Maybe.
