How to type a Spanish question mark

Thanks, I get it now. But Apple uses the "Spanish ISO" layout for printing its keyboards, which is different than "Spanish", so ? would be Shift -, if the input source were English.

Do you have "Show Keyboard Viewer" enabled in the menubar? (See System Preferences/Keyboard if it isn't.)

If so, select "Show Keyboard Viewer" to see which key or key combinations should produce the characters you want.

I have a new macbook pro purchased in Spain. I've set the keyboard to English but can't type a question mark. Tried all sorts of combinations but I only get dashes _– —  —_.

But if you get that, your keyboard is NOT set to English, it is set to Spanish ISO (which is correct for the printing on the keys of a Spanish keyboard to match the output). In Spanish ISO, the ? is at shift ' and ¿ is at shift ¡.

If you really want your keyboard to have the English mapping, go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and make sure there is only one item on the list, and that the name of that item is "US". Get rid of "Spanish ISO" or "Spanish". But then output will not match what is printed on the keys of a Spanish machine.

To produce a ?, press Shift and ç.

To produce a ¿, press Option as well.

Which layout is that? Doesn't seem to be one of the Spanish ones.
