Is there a way in RISC OS to input an enya character without resorting to !Chars (as used in the Title above)?

Acute and grave accents are ok eg. Alt + [ + e gives é, and alt + ] e gives è, but I can’t find a way to get the characteristic Spanish character.

Press Alt + comma, then release both keys and press N.
(RISC OS 5.28, Raspberry Pi 4B)

Thanks – it also works for ARMX6 RISC OS version 5.29 (02 Nov 2020.

This wiki page lists the Alt key functions and (after the correction I just made) now shows Alt+comma then n or N gives ñ or Ñ.

Thanks Bernard that is a useful link.
At the moment I am using VNC on a Mac to to control RISC OS on a Pi and having to jump through hoops to find forward slash, back slash, hash and vertical pipe. None of these work from the keys bearing their legends. Some are on diferent keys, but hash is not anywhere to be found.
Alt-35 is supposed to produce hash, and it does on ARMX6 if keying directly. On the mac with VNC Alt-3 generates hash.

You could use my Virtual Keyboard Vkeyboard and have s board with the characters you use as a board.

Hi Kevin – I just got round to trying this but got an abort error when clicking on the newly created blank keyboard.

Strange in devlopement this has never came up and I can’t reproduce the error.

You click on the Add/Edit Board button

Then click on Create

Give the new board a name and click on the Crate a new Board button

Enter what you want on the edit board and click Save … Repeat for each of the 4 states and when finished click onthe Close and open keyboard button?

After a power off and restart all is well.
It works and creates new keyboards successfully.
Thanks I have now created a suitable keyboard for my headless Pi RISC OS machine.
