Note: The following key sequences are combinations of the OPTION key plus another letter. Keep the option key held down when you type the letter after the - (i.e. option-e) and then let the option key up and type the letter that needs the accent mark. (In other words, keep the option key held down until you get to the + in the sequences below.)
