You can press the ` key before you type a vowel to add a macron to it. The ` key is next to the 1 key at the top left of most keyboards. It's also the tilde (~) key, which might help you remember because it looks a bit like a macron.
Entering a Macron To input a macron when using a touchscreen device such as an iPad or Android tablet, just press and hold the letter that you would like to use with a macron. A small extra-keyboard should appear, showing all the accents that you can add to that letter.
Now you can easily enter a macronised vowel by pressing ` (the key with ~ on it) and then the vowel. To enter a macronised capital vowel, press `, then hold down shift and press the vowel.
For example, to insert the á character, you can hold down the Alt key and type 0225 on the numeric keypad. Make sure the Num Lock key is on. Another option is to use the Character Map tool in Windows. This tool allows you to select and insert special characters and symbols, including accented letters.
Pressing the right Alt key (often marked AltGr ) before a vowel places a macron above it. Hold down the right Alt ( AltGr ) key. While still holding down on the right Alt key, press the a key on your keyboard. Release all keys. Now the next vowel you type in will have a macron placed above it.
For example, to get an ā: Switch your keyboard to US Extended. Type ⌥a+a (i.e. press and hold the option key, press a while still holding the option key) release the option key and the a key, then type a again.
For iPads or iPhones: hold the vowel down when selecting it to get a choice of diacritics (letters with accent marks) for that vowel, then slide your finger along to select. Mac computers: uses a key combination of the option key with the letter and macron. For example, to get an ā: Switch your keyboard to US Extended.
