I have been learning Portuguese lately. I finally found out how to write accents on my Mac. I used Yahoo Answers to learn how.  I was directed to this site.
On A Mac

This list is organized by Accent type. The sample shows a letter with that accent, and the Notes present any special comments about using that accent.

For the Template, the symbol “V” means any vowel. The format is to hold the first two keys down simultaneously, release, then type the vowel you wish to be accented.

Example 1: To input the letter ó, hold down the Option key, then the E key. Release both keys then type lowercase o.

Example 2: To input the letter Ó, hold down the Option key, then the E key. Release all three keys then type capital O.

Other Accent Marks

See the Extended Keyboard Page for additional accent marks

On a PC

This list is organized by Accent type. To determine the appropriate numeric code, match the accent with the vowel. See the individual By Language pages to see how to handle other accents.

Example: To input the acute a á (0225), hold down the ALT key, type 0225 on the numeric keypad, then release the ALT key.

If you are having problems inputting these codes, please review the instructions for using the codes at the bottom of this Web page.
