How to Create a Tilda on a Mac

Every wondered how to make a tilde on a Mac computer? How to write in Spanish using tilde accent marks instead of losing the rich pronunciation-modifier? Well, here is my step-by-step how-to method, adapted from one I found on About.com:

1. Press and hold 'option' + 'n'
   (you should see ˜ appear with an underline)
   
   
2. Release both keys
   (you should still see ˜ with an underline)
   
   
3. Press character you wish to have under the tilde
   (underline will be replaced with letter you have typed)
   
   Ññ

*Author's note: The word tilde is displayed in the title of this post as tilda to represent the common misspelling that many English-speaking Googlers are likely to enter into a search.
