Title: Guys Please Help (adding ñ to keyboard)
Post by: KillerBee on Sun, 18 December 2011, 09:11:21
Guys I am back in the states for a few and I went head and bought my wife a new laptop, but the problem is that she is a heavy user of the ñ key, how can I remap the ; key to become a ñ

The machine is a Windows 7 64 BIT
Thanks Guys

Two ways either hand edit the character map, or use some software for macro.

You could use an AutoHotKey script to do that:
Code: [Select]
SetScrollLockState, on
SC027::Send, ñ
+SC027::Send, Ñ
~ScrollLock::Suspend

ScrollLock key is used to suspend/resume the script:
• When ScrollLock is ON key “;” behaves like “ñ”
• When ScrollLock is OFF key “;” behaves like “;”

US-International layout is the best layout in my opinion for typing accents.
