How to type a # in Illustrator using  UK keyboard

As you can see from the subject line i know that Alt + 3 make the # symbol on a Mac using a UK keyboard, but in Illustrator it doesn't seam to let me do this. Is there a reason for this I don't know about or some other way of getting the same character? I'm using CS1 and Mac OS 10.4

It's on mine, sharing with the ~,  immediately left of the Enter key.

    Please tell me how to type vertical line on macbook pro keyboards?

    (1) It sounds like you might be using a Spanish keyboard. You should specify this to begin with. Unless you do, the default assumption is that you're using a US keyboard. The advice you received is correct for the US keyboard.
    (2) To see how to enter any character available with your current keyboard, enable Keyboard Viewer, as described here
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35878.html>
    (3) There is no "alt" key on a Mac keyboard. You are talking about the Option (⌥) key. See (search for "Alt key" in)

    (4) My advice is move on from Fraise. AFAIK, it's dead. Try TextWrangler, which is free and more capable.

  • How to I show a tooltip using a keyboard shortcut?

    Hi, does any one know how to show a tooltip for the currently active item in a web page using the keyboard? I can get tooltips to display using the mouse, but I'd like a keyboard shortcut too. Shift -F1 didn't help, nor Ctrl-F1.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your comments and helps in advaned
    Regards,

    Illustrator supports right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew - however, you need to use the specific Middle East and North African (MENA) edition. You can buy these at:
    Arab world: http://www.adobe.com/mena_en/purchase/
    Israel: http://www.adobe.com/il_en/purchase/
    Or download a trial version here: http://www.adobe.com/mena_ar/downloads/download-illustrator.html
    Here's an Adobe Help article on the Arabic and Hebrew features for CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/mena/using/arabic-hebrew.html

  • When i try to learn how to type online, i cannot use this/, because snel zoeken opens.

    When I press this Symbol / Firefox always starts SNEL ZOEKEN (in Dutch).
    So when I need this symbol, I cannot use it. I already tried to change VOORKEUREN-ALGEMEEN-NAAR TEKST ZOEKEN WANNEER IK BEGIN TE TYPEN, but this does not work. I have the latest update of Firefox.

    What OS are you running?
    There is no shortage of keys so if it is smaller it just means it is has less bulky and wated space. The wireless ones do not have a number pad if that is what you mean. Apple has a USB "full size" keyboard with number pad.
    I assume, since you are listed the price as pound, you are in the UK?

    The track pad is the same as the one on the laptop just bigger and wireless.
    I have a MacBook Pro with two additional displays so I use the Apple wireless keyboard and trackpad. I find gestures to be a great time saver and would never go back to a mouse.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - How to activate touchpad mouse by use of keyboard?

    I somehow lost connection to the touchpad mouse. How can I activate it again by use of the keyboard (I don't have any external mouse)?
    Asia ;o)

    As mentioned the touchpad can be disabled and enabled using the key combination FN+F9.
    Usually if the touchpad has been disabled then a touchpad icon which appears in the task bar should contains a red crossed circle.
    Check this.

  • How to type Keypad Enter on short A1314 keyboard?

    My imac came with the short A1314 keyboard, but for QuarkXpress there is a special command that uses the Keypad Enter key.  Any way to do that with this keyboard that has no keypad section?  TIA.

    Try using the Return key. On my short (no keypad) keyboard, that key is labelled both Return and Enter.
    You may need to experiment with adding a modifier key, such as Shift, Option, Control, etc.

  • Is there a way to type the ¢ (cents) symbol using the keyboard?

    I miss the ¢ symbol. Not having it makes no ¢!

    It doesn't seem to be on any keyboard so try copypastechararcter.com. This website has a lot of these characters/symbols that can be copied. Not very elegant!

  • How to type an Underline

    Does anyone know how to type an "Underline" on an IPAD keyboard?  example...G_123

    Paul most likely put modifiers in front of and after the text he typed into the post box. A u in brackets starts underlining and a u preceded by a / ends the underlining.
    b is for bold
    i is for italic.
    If you type in replies on a computer these codes are accessible from a menu but safari on the iOS devices does not show them.

    Hello
    How to type @ in a text?
    The keyboard shortcut AltGr + @ does not work!
    Thank you for your help.

    hi,
    I have not tried because I have a AZERTY keyboard and not QWERTY.
    In France it is Alt + 0.
    I tried with Arial, Verdana font etc.. nothing works.
    I do not understand why ...
