Hash Key - Where is it!!?
Hi,
I've had my powerbook 12" for around a year now and I've only just noticed that it doesn't have a hash key.
I want to learn to code in Perl (only simple stuff for manipulating data output files from a simulator) but i think i'm scuppered if i can't find the hash key.
I am using an old imac (lime green) keyboard for my input to my powerbook and can't find the hash key. What is the work aorund for this?
Thanks for your help
best regards
dave

Do you have a UK keyboard?
yeah, I have a uk keyboard.
shift+3 gives the £ symbol over here.
Out of curiosity, what's Shift-4? That gives us the $.

shift-1 !
alt-1 ¡
shift-2 @
alt-2 ?
shift-3 £
alt-3 #
shift-4 $
alt-4 ¢
yeah, the hash should be labelled like the Euro (to the right of the shift icon)

well in the old days of keycaps you could fiddle around, now you have nothing to help you in the same way, why did Apple scrap key caps with 10.3? Font book is a different application and I want key cap back
Input Menu (tab):
Check "Keyboard Viewer"
Now you can choose "Keyboard Viewer" from the input mode menu item (a flag roughly based on your chosen language).
Sorry, not sure if it can be used alone without the input mode menu item.
/System/Library/Components/KeyboardViewer.component/Contents/SharedSupport/KeyboardViewerServer.app
Name the alias KeyCaps. Double-click it. Voila.

I was hoping there was a way to do that. I was searching for "Keyboard Viewer" with a space, silly me.
Wonder if the OS search will ever have a Google-like "Did you mean..." feature?
At least from what I can see, in Panther.
