Try this keyboard: Galician Keyboard
Start with the displayed Galician layout
Find ñ at the semicolon position on the normal layer, then switch Shift on briefly to view Ñ. Alt Gr with 2 shows @. These are complete mapped outputs, while the visible acute-accent key inserts a separate symbol and does not wait for the next vowel.
Open the Galician 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 2 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.
The two letter examples should differ only in case, followed by @. If a later Galician word requires an accented vowel missing from the current map, paste the exact letter or use native input. Placing ´ next to an ordinary vowel will leave a different character sequence.
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
Accents may need native input
The board does not combine ´ with a vowel. Paste the required accented character or use your device keyboard.
Inspect Shift and Alt Gr
Shift with semicolon inserts Ñ, equals inserts ¿, and 3 inserts ·. Alt Gr with 2 gives @ and E gives €. Bracket positions provide square brackets; the visible ´ key inserts a separate accent symbol.
Common questions
Can I type ñ without an accent key?
Yes. It is mapped directly at semicolon, with Ñ under Shift. Each is inserted as a complete character. Select a letter in an existing word first if the next click should replace it.
Why does an acute accent remain separate from a vowel?
The layout has no dead-key composition system. Its ´ key inserts a literal symbol. The board cannot synthesize every precomposed accented letter, so use native input or paste for an unavailable character.
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 Galician text
Repeat the example, then replace it with the text you need. Review any unfamiliar characters before copying or downloading the finished version.
