How do you insert a fada on a letter? Say you are writing in Irish. I don't know how you do it:o

All you have to do is to hold Ctrl + Alt while you're pressing the particular letter. E.g. Pressing Ctrl + Alt + e yields é, pressing Ctrl + Alt + i gives í etc. Hope this helps.

Also, if you're using an Irish keyboard, you can just hold Alt Gr + [vowel]. E.g. Alt Gr + íóúáé.
