There are several different approaches to how to type non-English
accented characters.
I use a little freeware background program called AllChars. This
lets me (in all applications) type many common special characters
(many of these are used in other languages) by pressing the ctrl
key followed by a two character mnemonic combination.

For example, for ñ the two characters are ~ and n. For ç it's c
and , For ü it's u and "
