Which keyboard layout do you prefer?
I don't know whether I should use the US-International keyboard layout, which feels more familiar, or the Spanish layout. They both have everything I need, but I just don't know which one in the long run will be more comfortable for me.
The Spanish one is just a hassle, sometimes, remembering which keys are where, as I have a standard American QWERTY keyboard. I just have to remember where the ¿ and ¡ keys, and also the @ is different. I've gotten used to it by now. The US-International feels much more familiar, but it's a hassle having to set my word processor to Spanish spell-check instead of it doing it automatically for me when I change to Spanish input. Any feedback?

I don't use a keyboard layout to type in Spanish. There's an 'Accents' pull-down menu just above the text input box. This contains all the special characters I need.

I use the English (United States) and Spanish (International) keyboard layouts. In Windows, it's really easy to switch between the two (Alt + Shift), and once you get used to the layouts, it's surprisingly easy to use both of them. Similar to switching between languages. I can also type reasonably well on a Dvorak setup, although I haven't done that for years. Here on the forums (as Rusty mentions), you can also use the accents drop-down menu to insert the correct accents for Spanish. I use the Alt + NUM combinations for inputting accented vowels on computers I don't have control over.

I just use the ALT + number to obtain the ascii equivalent of what I need.
Alt + 160 = á 0193=Á 130 = é 144 = É 161 = í 0205=Í 162 = ó 0211=Ó 163 = ú 0218=Ú 129 = ü 154 = Ü 164 = ñ 165 = Ñ 168 = ¿ 173 = ¡ 166 = ª 167 = º 174 = « 175 = » 246 = ÷ 171 = ½ 172 = ¼ 156 = £ I hope it helps. |

I think it is different for a laptop, and I don't know how to do that combination. Do you want me to find out for you?

It almost gives me physical pain to read about people using ALT-codes for accented characters. I made this tiny program for Windows a few weeks ago. Just run (no installation) and press ctrl+space to bring up a menu with all relevant characters and their shortcuts. Kinda like the "Accents"-menu here.
