C++ programming (missing hash key)

My Mac Mini was supplied with an Apple keyboard. It's about 450mm x 100mm, made from brushed aluminium with flat, white keys. Unfortunately, there's no hash key AFAICT. This is going to be a problem for me since I'm a C++ programmer and the hash key is pretty important in C++ programming!
I found out that a hash symbol can be generated by using Option+3. However, this only seems to work for OS-X. I've dual installed Windows (using Boot Camp) but Option+3 doesn't work there.
Can anyone suggest an alternative keyboard that might offer a working hash key for both OS's? Or would a standard PC keyboard work?

Have you installed the Boot Camp drivers for Windows to match the hardware with the OS? Have you configured Windows to use a UK keyboard profile?
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel Mac mini has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

  • SIMPLE QUESTION - HASH KEY - WHERE IS IT

    I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years and only just noticed the keyboard does NOT have a Hash key.
    I need it now for some programming work.
    Where is it? How do I invoke the hash character?

    That may indicate you have a British keyboard.  On that the # key is at Option/alt + 3.
    If you have some keyboard other than US or British, let us know.

  • I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to reprogram a different key to be my plus/equals key? Can I program a function key? key

    I have a Macbook Air that had some coffee spilled on the keyboard and as a result the plus/equals key is no longer functioning. Can I use a program like Ukelele to re-program another key to do that function? Can I re-program a function key to do this function?

    Water + electronics do not mix.  Something was damaged insode, and the logic board may be corroding as is.
    Take it to a Genius Bar for an evaluation and repair estimate.

  • Hash key - anyone?

    Hi
    This may seem daft but I can't find a hash key anywhere on my Macbook - not even in special characters. As these are often used in passwords it would be useful to have it.
    Can anyone help please?
    AJ

    Ok, I'm guessing # is what you mean by hash key?
    If so, it's referred to as the number or pound key on a us keyboard and is shift-3. But, since that is likely £ for you, try opt-3 as that gives us £ on a US keyboard.
    You can enable the keyboard viewer by opening Language and Text System Preferences, Input Sources, and check the Keyboard & Character Viewer. Then, check the show input menu in menu bar. Select Keyboard viewer from the menu. Now, hold down different combinations of modifier keys and the keyboard viewer will show what keys produce various characters.

  • Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing.

    Can't run iTunes, Apple Application Support program missing.  It's a brand new computer, never had iTunes installed.  I've attempted 16 installs, each time uninstalling the previous install and verifying no Apple software installed before trying again; I've also been using different browsers, still no luck.  Windows 7, 64 bit.

    Try downloading 7-Zip (free), or a free trial of WinRAR, and unpack the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file into its components then try installing them individually in alphabetical order (don't try to install SetupAdmin.exe or iCloud.msi). AAS might not install right now, but you may get a more useful error message as to why not, or it might install once the other components have been installed.

  • Generate Unique Hash Key in PL/SQL

    I have a document that i want to send to certain customers. What I've decided to do is send the customer a link to the document that will be stored locally on our server. Obviously for security reasons i don't want to simply send the sequential doc ID allowing customers to change the query string to get other information.
    What would be the best way in pl/sql to generate a unique hash key to include in the url? The key would have to be both unique and not easily edited by customers to view other documents.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I've been experimenting with SHA-1 and it works very well in producing a 40 character hash. My one concern is that for example hashing '1025' produces the following hash 'B74E9CAD775D997FC742B45E1BA7BD5295D63D13'.
    Would someone not just simply be able to use SHA-1 to create a hash for '1026' (since i'm using a sequential number for my input) and consequently retrieve somebody elses information and leave my system vulnerable?
    Might i be better off to encrytp the input?I thought the point was that the "user" would only be provided with the hash value as a reference to the document and they would not have a clue how to alter that hash value to another value in order to retrieve a different document. Surely they don't know that the hash value they have relates to '1025' so a) how would they know that they can obtain the hash for '1026' to get the next document and b) how would they go about creating their own hash values unless you somehow give them access to Oracle's DBMS_CRYPTO package?
    If you really want to be sure then you could also also incorporate the date/time of the document into the string that you hash, so they would have to a) have access to the dbms_crpto package, b) know the filename and the date/time of the document and c) know what order to combine those things (and the format mask you've used on the date/time etc.) to provide the correct hash to obtain the document.
    If you use encryption then you leave yourself open to decryption.
    If you use hash then this is generally a 1 way mechanism, hence details are better hidden.
    I think you'll find when it comes to things like password storage, most will use a 1 way hash (or similar) algorithm rather than an encrypted password so that the stored passwords can never be reverse engineered. Also, such password algorithms usually combine the username or some other feature to prevent two users with the same password getting the same hash value.

  • Missing primary key column in created form?

    Please help. I am a newbie in apex.
    When i create form and view it later I am missing primary key column.
    HOw to make it show?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    While creating the form based on a table/view, what have you chosen to populate the primary key value? Existing Triggers or Existing Sequences or Custom PL/SQL function?
    Can you check for the Get PK pl/sql process in the page processing region of the related form page? If that function is missing then do the following steps to create the same,
    Step 1 : Create a new pl/sql process.
    Step 2 : Choose the Process Point as, On Submit After Computations and Validations.
    Step 3 : Write the following block,
    declare
      function get_pk return varchar2
      is
      begin
        for c1 in (select TEST_SEQ.nextval next_val
                   from dual) -- Create a new sequence for your requirement.
        loop
            return c1.next_val;
        end loop;
      end;
    begin
      :P3_TEST := get_pk;  -- Change the item name for your page.
    end;After doing all the above, try executing the page.

  • Hash key doesn't work :(

    Guys this is doing my head in.
    I am using a UK keyboard and a UK Macbook Pro 2008 (Late). I can't use a hash key at all using ALT + 3 or SHIFT + 3. It shows hash on they keyboard viewer but it never does output the icon on the screen
    At the minute my only option is to use the US keyboard, but quite simply I don't as I have a UK physical keyboard. Any ideas?
    Cheers

    I've been struggling with this same problem for a while before realising that I'd mapped ALT+number to another application, specifically to change desktops using Spaces in OSX. 
    Having removed this new key binding, I can now use ALT+3 to create # for the first time in months; a classic case of operator error.
    Just wondered if you'd checked similar settings which might ave over-ridden the default settings?
    Good luck.

  • UK iMac Keyboard . . . . Hash Key?

    Morning folks.
    If from the title you havent realised, Im from the UK.
    A little over a year ago I purchased a 12inch ibook g4 and im loving it. now its time for me to turn my PC into a door stop (no really!). I waste far to much time on windows playing games I cant play on a mac.
    How ever when I ordered my iBook impretty sure I selected a UK keyboard and when I got it it didnt have a Hash key (#). This is kind of a tricky objective to over come when your a web designer and programmer. How ever I manage, some how.
    Can anyone confirm for me if a Ukmac with this option: "Keyboard & Mighty Mouse + Mac OS X" comes with a hash key.
    Many thanks
    Adam
    ibook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Hi Adam,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The UK layout has the £ sign where the US has #.
    To get the # with your UK layout, type option+3.
    To get the £ with a US layout, type option+3.
    If you ordered a UK iBook, as opposed to an International iBook, then you rightly got the £ model.
    Tip:
    In System Preferences > International > Input Menu,
    you can enable any layout that you would wish to use. Enable the input menu in the menubar too, and the keyboard viewer/character palette, a very handy small flag to have in your status bar.
    Enjoy your Mac!

  • Hash key on UK mac pro keyboard?

    I'm an avid twitter user in need of a hash key! I have a UK keyboard and need to keep my £ sign. Alt, control or shift +3 don't produce a hash sign for me. Any ideas please?

    Annoying isnt it?!? try Alt+3, should work well enough (FYI, I use it in Excel via VMware and its CTRLALT3)

  • No hash key to be seen

    How do I find a hash key on a UK keyboard? - I am sure it is obvious to anyone otehr than me!

    I can't find a way to get "Spanish" to show up in my character palete. IN my International pref settings the list shows English and Spanish. And I have it set to show input from both caracter palette and keybaord viewer. When I open Character Palette I see now reference to Spanish letters or chacters. The View popdown windown at top left shows Roman (?), Japanese and Korean. No listing of Spanish. (What is "roman"??) I'd like to delete the Japanese and Korean -- where's Spanish?!!?
    The Category tap shows all TYPES of symples (math, arrows, crosses, digits, etc_. But again, no Spanish! What gives? -- david in KC

  • Hash key on MacBook

    Hi,
    When I'm developing web-pages, it is often useful to use the hash key. But I cannot find it on my MacBook keyboard layout. I am using the English keyboard. It is usually next to the apostrophe I find, but I cannot see it on the MacBook. Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    Try Alt+3
