Try this keyboard: Basque Keyboard
Start with the displayed Basque layout
Find ñ at the semicolon position and switch Shift on briefly to see Ñ. With Alt Gr, E becomes €. These are complete mapped outputs. A punctuation mark resembling an accent has a different role: clicking it inserts that mark immediately rather than starting an accent sequence.
Open the Basque keyboard and save any existing draft you want to keep. Clear the editor for this exercise, then turn off Caps, Shift, and Alt Gr. Clicking the on-screen characters avoids relying on the printed labels of your physical keyboard.
Enter ñ Ñ € one example at a time
First, use the normal layer and click ñ at the ; position. Next, use the Shift layer and click Ñ at the ; position. Finally, use the Alt Gr layer and click € at the E position. Insert one Space between the examples. The finished practice row is ñ Ñ €. These separated characters are an exercise, not a word or a translation.
For each example, enable only its stated modifier combination and check that the large key label matches the intended character. On-screen Shift and Alt Gr stay active until you toggle them off. Return to the normal layer after the final example; do not leave an extra modifier selected.
Review the characters before formatting
Compare the editor with ñ Ñ €. If one item differs, select that item and click its correct key again. Undo and Redo can recover text edits during this page session. Keep one space between the examples so each character remains easy to inspect.
Your practice row should contain two letter forms followed by the euro sign. If the last key inserts e instead, Alt Gr was not active. If you later need a missing accented vowel, do not try to create it by placing a literal accent beside an ordinary vowel.
Set a clear style and download the practice row
Open Text style using the font button above the editor. Explicitly choose Arial, set the size to 28 px, choose Automatic color, and turn bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough off. Set direction to Left to right. These settings apply to the complete editor, even when a smaller passage is selected.
Choose Save image to download a PNG, then open it and compare its text with the editor. The image centers the text on a white background. Font appearance depends on fonts available on your device; a missing glyph can use a fallback. For text you can revise later, Save Word (.docx) creates an editable document instead. Both downloads include the whole editor.

Tips for this layout
Accent symbols are literal
No dead-key composition is implemented. Paste missing precomposed accented letters or use native input.
Use Shift and Alt Gr
Shift with semicolon gives Ñ, equals gives ¿, and 3 gives ·. Alt Gr with 2 gives @ and E gives €. Accent-looking keys insert symbols immediately rather than waiting for a vowel.
Common questions
Why does typing an accent then a vowel leave two characters?
This board has no dead-key composition system. Accent-looking keys insert their own symbols immediately. Use a complete accented letter already present on a layer, or paste the required character from another input method.
Can I use the symbols on my physical English keycaps?
Follow the current large labels. For example, slash produces a hyphen and equals produces ¡ on the normal layer. Shift and Alt Gr expose other outputs, so English punctuation positions do not describe this board reliably.
Will Copy keep the style shown in my image?
Copy sends the entire editor as plain text, so the receiving app supplies its appearance. Use PNG for a fixed visual result or Word for editable text with the selected font, size, color, and direction.
Try your own Basque text
Repeat the example, then replace it with the text you need. Review any unfamiliar characters before copying or downloading the finished version.
