    I constantly need to be typing with accents in spanish and I normally would use the Alt symbols, but since the laptop doesn't have a seperate number pad the function doesn't work. Does anyone know an alternate way, any kind of work around?

    Switching to a Spanish keyboard layout doesn't help?

    alt + fn + the numbers m=0, j=1, k=2, l=3.... with numlock

    eg... if i wanted to type Π(alt + numkeys 0140), i would press alt+fn+ m j u m)
