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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows).  The key behaves the same for the laptop keyboard and for an external Apple keyboard?  This just started in last week after 6 months of use

    My left shift key on Macbook Pro Retina (15") is behaving like the F11 key (show/hide open windows). 
    The left shift key behaves the same on the laptop keyboard and on an external Apple keyboard. 
    This just started in last week after 6 months of use.  The right shift key and other keys on the keyboard all appear to work correctly.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated.

    I have a solution to this issue now after a discussion with Apple Support.  Some where in the last few weeks, there was a change in the key that would do a Show Desktop under the Mission Control settings in the System Preferences.  Even though the key sequence that was shown for the Show Desktop setting did not include the Left SHift key, by changing this first to having no key sequence and applying that and then changing it back to the F11 key, the Left SHift key issue that I was having has cleared up.
    A second issue that was uncovered was that the SSD had some issues (uncovered when I ran Disk Utility using the Repair Disk key).  I had to restart and use the Disk Utility through the Command R sequence to get to the stand alone Disk Utility.  The SSD appears to be running better as a result as well.
    Hope that this is of use to someone else in the future.

  • Hashtagging and how to find the Hash key

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to Hashtag on Twitter and I don't really want to have to keep on opening pages just to cut and paste the hash symbol, every time I do so. Is there a shortcut for Hash on the Macbook keyboard?

    You could just add it to your favourites in special characters then have special characters open:
    Edit > Special Characters > Roman > By Category > Punctuation > 4th Down on Left (Select) > Bottom Left of Characters Box click the Settings Cog > Add to Favourites.
    Then when on Twitter, simply have Special Characters open, with the Favourites pane open, then double click the hash when you need to insert it.
    Cheers

  • My return key on Macbook pro doesn't work

    My return key on Macbook Pro stopped working, also the shift key

    Hello there,
    It sounds like the return key is not working on your computers built in keyboard. I would use these steps from the following article to help isolate and resolve the issue:
    Try logging into a different user account. If the issue does not occur when logged into a different user account, then troubleshoot for software issues.
    You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, and then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or press Set Key to select another key.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Language & Text, and then click Input Sources. Select the checkbox next to Keyboard & Character Viewer, and then select “Show Input menu in menu bar.” Open the Input menu and make sure the correct keyboard layout is selected. To see the keyboard layout, choose Show Keyboard Viewer from the Input menu.

  • The Insert Key in Macbook Pro (Middle 2009)

    Hello,
    I'm looking for the Insert Key in the Macbook Pro.
    I found that : http://www.hjaltilava.info/2009/07/01/insert-key-on-macbook-pro-keyboard/
    I tried it, but it didn't work.
    This key is necessary in a simulator like FlightGear.
    Someone have idea ?
    Thanks !

    SnqKe, there is no Insert key to find for the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro.
    Software such as [KeyRemap4MacBook|http://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook> can allow the emulation of keys not on the keyboard. If it doesn’t already have an option to emulate an Insert key, the author of KeyRemap4MacBook is quite willing to add new options to the software — he has added a few on my request.
    For FlightGear in particular, it comes with its own key binding files, so even without any key remapping software installed, you could modify FlightGear’s data/input/keyboard.xml file to change the key of the script that is normally bound to the Insert key.

  • 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.

  • How can we see record hold by the hash key value for a lock held

    Hi Experts ,
    I remember there is function in SQL server where you can see record /column value of the hask held in locking ? please can you let me know the function name. we  can provide hash key (bb00f5802873) and see the undelying data.

  • 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

    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

  • 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;
