how do i get this ~ on top the n for spanish words?
With a spanish keyboard, of course, key ñ.
At the console you can try Alt+241 for ñ and Alt+209 for Ñ. <snip>
You can get all this functionality at no cost in the kde control panel . Go to the kde control panel and click peripherals->keyboard. Select US English as your primary layout. Go down to the Additional Layouts box below and scroll down till you see US English with dead keys. Check the box and hit apply. You will get a little icon in your system panel. You can turn your dead keys on and off with that icon. For those who don't know, dead keys are keys that can type special characters. They are :, ", ', `, ~, ^, and so on. If you enable dead keys and then press ~, nothing appears on screen until you press the next key. If you press any consonant but n you get a ~ followed by that consonant. If you press n you get ñ as I just did with my dead key layout. If you are german and you need umlauts, pressing " followed by u gives you ü. I'm still accepting virtual beers today BTW. John
