I am unable to type any accented characters in Chrome using the Opt. This used to work but recently stopped, on the same computer. I can use other special characters such as Opt+U for a ü or Opt+N for a ñ, but the accent option does not work (nothing is typed). I can use Opt+E in other apps such as Stickies or Safari fine.

There are posted questions about this that said the problem was a Chrome extension. However, I also experience this problem in private browser mode with all extensions disabled. I practice Spanish on various sites and not being able to type accents is annoying.

  • What language keyboard layout are you using?

  • Disabling all chrome extensions fixed for me the issue where I couldn't type Opt+o to get "ó". Thanks

You may try like this to get accented characters

Opt + u then press u you will get ü

Opt + e then press e you will get é

Opt + n then press n you will get ñ

    The OP clearly states in the question that opt+u and opt+n is already working for him and that opt+e isn't working. Can you edit this to address that concern?
