a very easy way to write accented vowel: download AllChars. it's free. no need to remember numerical codes. by pushing ctrl you connect to the software. then, everytime you need a fada, push ctrl (don't hold it), then the acute accent (= apostrophe), then the vowel. simple and fast but, more important, free of charge.

In my experience, the easiest option is the 'Alt Gr' key (to the immediate right of the spacebar on many keyboards in Ireland and the UK) + the vowel

Alt Gr + aeiou = áéíóú

Alt Gr + left Shift + aeiou = ÁÉÍÓÚ


This may be trickier for users based in North America.

alt gr + vowel doesn't work on my keyboards. on the italian keyboard I can get acute accents: ctrl (kept pushed) + ' (release) + vowel; on the korean keyboard, in the international position I do not have italian accented vowels and cannot get them either with alt gr or the other way, but with AllChars only. it was just a curiosity anyway. nuair a scríobhaim i nGaeilge, déanaim go furasta ar an méarchlár iodálach é, go cinnte.
