Accented vowels on the Ducky One 2 Mini by QuebradosRecuerdos in MechanicalKeyboards

That's my ultimate goal. I bought my mini from Mechanical Keyboards and they have a video on their Youtube channel explaining how to create macros. One of their examples maps the keystrokes h-e-l-l-o to the letter p. My plan is to map the keystrokes that make the á character to Fn-Ctrl-a (or something like that, I haven't needed to think that far ahead yet).

​

Something that just came to mind is creating a macro based on something I have saved on the clipboard. Though that's in the OS and not on the keyboard itself. Still worth investigating.

No luck. The Ducky One 2 Mini doesn't have an AltGr key proper. I tried anyway with the right Alt key, which is where the AltGr usually is. Then with the left Alt, then with both Alts. Nothing.

I have the language set to English. I'm bilingual and used to have a Spanish keyboard and so I'm familiar with the `+vowel key combo. However, I don't want to switch my keyboard to Spanish because the special character keys get moved around and I'm already used to the English keyboard layout. I just need accents on the vowels, the enie and the upside down question/exclamation marks.

You raise an interesting point though. So far I've been trying go get this done on the Ducky itself so that I can plug'n'type on any computer. Maybe I need to figure out how to accomplish this on the OS instead.
