Ubuntu Spanish accents | Tildes en Ubuntu.

This is a method for writing Spanish accents on Ubuntu when you don't have a Spanish keyboard. I tested it on Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTS (classic desktop). I am using a Japanese keyboard with an English environment.

System tools -> System settings -> Keyboard layouts -> Layout ->
Options -> Compose key option -> Right Alt

Note: if you can't find "System tools" menu, execute the command 'gnome-control-center'

Then you can write Spanish accents as follows:

RightAlt-a + ' = á
RightAlt-e + ' = é
RightAlt-i + ' = í
RightAlt-o + ' = ó
RightAlt-u + ' = ú
RightAlt-n + - = ñ
RightAlt-? + ? = ¿

Note: RigthAlt is the Alt key on the right side of the keyboard.
