Cant type "@" ?

[Sptz]

Hey, I'm pretty annoyed I cant type the "@" (I copy paste that) , not even the Euro symbol etc... the Alt key works like, alt+F4 and ctrl+alt+del, but I cant do these symbols with alt ... whats up with that?

@ is SHIFT + 2
€ is ALT + 2.

What happens if you try to type " , the quotation marks? On a UK Windows keyboard the @ symbol is in that position.

Im guessing your talking about the combo alt 0040 ? cant you just do a shift 2? for the @ sign?

I use shift+2 to do "" , I cant do the @

Sounds like you have changed the type of keyboard and language you are using.

Have a look in System preferences>International>Input menu and tell us what you have there.

This is windows so... control panel, language settings, and on the keyboard I have Portuguese (I'm from Portugal) but I have the same thing on mac OSX and it works great, I don't know why this doesn't work good on windows.. even double finger scrolling sucks like hell.

shift+" will do it then ;).

^^ I was going to say that Eraserhead ;)

[Sptz]

err.. but " and @ are on the same key which is key 2 ...

OK if you look at Wikipedia's Portuguese keyboard layout

It should be Alt-2 in Windows. If not I'd just try pressing buttons with different function keys until you get it ;).

I know it is supposed to be alt+2 , that's the purpose of this thread, in MACOSX it works, in windows it doesn't ..

Check the language bar on the bottom toolbar in Windows, and check the language isn't set as English-US. If it is Shift-a will give you what you want.
