Special Keys on Your Keyboard

If you see rectangles: If you see rectangles instead of diacritical marks
on some of the pictures of keys in Key Caps, try pressing Option-Z
to see the diacritical marks. However, you only need to use the
Option key (not Option-Z) in combination with the other keys to
type letters with diacritical marks.
If you press the Option key at the same time as a key for a specific
diacritical mark and then release both keys, Key Caps outlines in
bold the keys for letters that can be typed with that mark. (You will
see that most key combinations for diacritical marks can be used
with the Space bar as well as letter keys—producing the mark
without a letter.)
The most common diacritical marks and how to create them are
summarized next.
Diacritical mark
Grave accent (`)
Acute accent (´)
Circumflex (^)
Tilde (~)
Umlaut (¨)
The letter "c" with a cedilla (ç)
• To type a letter or a space with a specific diacritical mark,
press the Option key and the key for the mark
simultaneously. Then type the letter that needs the mark.
If you are having trouble getting a mark and letter to appear
together, try again. Be sure to press the Option key before (or
at the same time as) the key for the mark; then, after you
release both keys, type the letter to be marked.
