# hash sign on UK keyboard

[missile]

Hi,

I was struggling to find the # hash sign shortcut on UK keyboard.

Advice on other threads is to use Alt + 3 but it did not work😕

Thought I would give a heads up to help a.n.others this only works with the right hand Alt + 3.

strange, it works with my left hand alt key and 3.

Left Alt + 3 also works for me.

I always remember that # is on the 3 key as the Americans call that a pound and the British keyboard has the £ (pound) sign on the 3 key as Shift + 3.

Well maybe I have a duff keyboard <LOL> and hopefully my post will help someone else - with a duff keyboard 😱.

Mine is an Apple wireless keyboard as supplied with the iMac 27, see here http://www.apple.com/keyboard/

I have that one and also a wired one with the numeric keypad, both work the same. DO any other key combinations cause you problems?
