This is what I used once when my keyboard broke and some keys stopped working. Even ordering the new keyboard was difficult when I couldn't type my delivery address properly.

That's where the on screen keyboard app can be handy as well. It's on most computers.
Back in my day we didn't have no fancy on screen keyboard built into windows! We copy and pasted from a random readme.txt file when our keyboards broke! (Or were taken away by our parents thinking it would make the computer inoperable, haha)
It is a really nice feature now though.
How do you think Mexican people spell year in Spanish if it's not by going to Wikipedia and getting that letter that comes after m and before n in the Mexican alphabet? Eh? Eh? Anios!
Once, I had a friend who's spacebar failed. I told her to copy-padre the space and go to Goodwill and buy a new keyboard.
That’s how I type everything, I just have pages of pages of text with characters and then I scroll through and click each page where a character may be used
