There are different keyboard shortcuts to access the various diacritics on Mac and Windows systems. If you tell us which platform you are on and which character you are looking for, we can be very specific.

As a general answer, all of the characters that have accents are listed in a table under the Type > Glyphs. Locate the one you want and double click to add it to the text.

You can type the shortcut for the accent then the letter you want the accent on. e.g.: for ñ type Option-n then n.

Option `(key above tab) + letters = à À è È ì Ì ò Ò ù Ù
Option e = á Á é É í Í ó Ó ú Ú
Option i = â Â ê Ê î Î ô Ô û Û
Option n = ã Ã ñ Ñ õ Õ
Option u = ä Ä ë Ë ï Ï ö Ö ü Ü ÿ Ÿ

You can also look in the Glyphs palette on either OS.

The Mac key combinations are different depending on the keyboard settings, so we need to know which language the keyboard is asigned. There is even a different setting between Austria and German on the one side and Swiss German on the other side.
