![]() ![]() ![]() I'll also note that there has been an unaddressed feature request around for this since 2015. Similar to this request, when I raised the issue to Canvas support, they said, "Just install a universal keyboard on your computer." I don't think that's an adequate solution, because not everyone has permission to install software on their computer (managed work computers, for example) and introductory language learners need an easy way to insert letters with accent marks. Jarte provides an extended set of easy to remember keyboard sequences used to create letters with accent marks (i.e., diacritical letters) and other special. I believe Canvas is using a modified TinyMCE editor, which is used in other LMSes, and has an "insert special character" plugin that Canvas/Instructure hasn't enabled: This type of button is common in most WYSIWYG editors, and as far as I can tell, Canvas is the only LMS with an editor that lacks it. I think it's a real problem for foreign language courses not to have an "insert special character" or "insert symbol" button in the editor.

For example, if you wanted to type the name José, you can type "Jos" and then use this keyboard combination: Or, if you know the keystroke combination for a certain character, you can use that, too. Once you have the Character Map open, you find and select the Spanish character you want to use, and then copy/paste it in to Canvas. Open Command Prompt, type charmap and press Enter. Open Start Menu, choose All apps, expand Windows Accessories and hit Character Map. Type map in the search box on taskbar, and choose Character Map from the result. If you are on a Windows machine, one of the simplest programs I like to use is the built-in "Character Map" program that comes with the operating system. The Spanish n with tilde shortcut for Windows is Alt+. On Mac, hold down the Option/Alt key and press the n key twice on your keyboard. Use 0209 for capital letter n with a tilde (Ñ). Let's see if we can find an answer for you. To type the Spanish n with the tilde sign in Windows, press and hold the Alt key and then press the character’s Alt code which is 0241 on the numeric keypad. I am sorry to see that your question has been sitting here in the Canvas Community unanswered since August 23, 2018. Hello there, Thank You for posting your question. ![]()
