The Spanish PC arrangement keeps QWERTY letter positions and gives ñ its own key. Accents and several punctuation symbols occupy different positions from US English.

The typing block shows letters, symbols and modifiers. Choose AltGr for additional symbols. ◌ marks a composing accent.

Ñ and accent entry

Ñ sits to the right of L. The acute/diaeresis accent position composes with a following letter; the diagram marks a composing accent with a circle.

The Spanish (Spain) arrangement differs from Latin American arrangements. Select the input source that matches the board you use.

Symbols for writing and code

Use the Shift and AltGr levels to find inverted punctuation, brackets, braces and @. Compare the exact character position with US QWERTY rather than relying on the printed US key name.
