Write tilde (~) with Altgr + 4 and ç keys on spanish keyboard.

Question

Write tilde (~) with Altgr + 4 and ç keys on spanish keyboard.

Anonymous

I'd like to be able to write the tilde (~) with Altgr + 4 but the default option is to wait for the next key pressed so it can be composed, to write ã for example. So I end up having to press Altgr + 4 and space to write tilde. I'd like to write tilde just with Altgr + 4.

Also since I don't use the ç key, I would also like to change that key to write tilde.

Answer 2

I used AutoHotkey and it seems to work but I've had trouble in the past with AutoHotkey. There are times when it doesn't seem to execute the script at startup. Isn't there a way to modify the registry directly so I can be sure the functionality won't change?

This is what I did:

In Windows Explorer go to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

and create a file with extension '.ahk' with this content:

!ñ::Send {~}{Space}
<^>!4::Send {~}{Space}

Hi ajr-dev, my name is Felipe Lucas, Independent Advisor and Microsoft Windows user like you.

I'll be happy to help you.

If you are using a Microsoft Keyboard I suggest you take a look at how to do it on Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center:

If that option doesn't fit you, I recommend that you check one of the tutorials below.
