How do you get an Umlaut on the keyboard

[Hawkeye]

I don't know if I even spelled that right, but its the German thing that gets put above some letters and I know theres some combination of things to press on the keyboard to type one. Im guess German ledgies would know or maybe other ones too. Its important.

hit and hold the alt button and then type in 129

ü

I'm stoked because I found out the number for pound £ (alt + 156) last year. LOL!! Also, I just found the number for this cool music sign ♪ (alt + 13) and the heart ♥ (alt + 3). Very cool.

I've got the £ sign on the '3' key :blob2: But then it's a British keyboard... we've got the $ sign on the '4' key.

I can also get an umlaut by alt 129 - ü

the others are:
alt 132 - ä
alt 137 - ë
alt 139 - ï
alt 148 - ö
alt 142 - Ä
alt 153 - Ö
alt 154 - Ü
alt 216 - �

all the European accents are there, like é ç â Å ò ø ñ ß etc etc - hope this helps ;)

Ok, NOW...how do we get the US cent sign? That's the most stupid omission in the world...even bigger than Welch not getting inducted into the HoF...that a US keyboard doesn't even have a cent sign. :mad:

You mean this?

¢ - alt 189

On a Dutch keyboard it's just shift + " and then type your vowel. Same for é or Ã* or ç or whatever :p
Oh, and we have a € here! (hope it shows up, that was a euro sign)

[tynan88]

how does that work? whenever I press alt it goes to the file menu? do u press them at the same time?

[wondergirl9847]

You have to hold down the alt button, then type in the number. :nod:

It doesn't work for me. (?) :shrug:

Use the numeric pad, the one at the right side of the keyboard.

Hee. For years I didn't know how this worked, and now it's like an addiction for me. 梣{Üñ¦
