Help !

[Lessthanajc]

This has been bugging me for the last few days.

I have a swiss german mac and am trying to type the german „ (double low quotation mark). Shift+7 does not work. Ive searched this forum and google.

5 Points to the person who finds the solution!

by the way : shift + ^ doesnt work

i can get the high quotation marks with: alt + 2

but not (yet) the lower ones

Yep, works. Thanks.

Maybe this can help:

Btw, this is a help/Hilfe forum, therefore a thread titled „Help !" is redundant.

A more descriptive and precise thread title will help cater to the right audience and get you more responses. (see rule #3 under How do I get help with a hardware or software problem)

Have you also taken a look at MRoogle, since that question may have been asked several times?

Ups, seems you have a different layout and I couldn't find „ via pressing down OPTION + every key on the keyboard and OPTION+SHIFT + every key on the keyboard. Maybe you add German to your keyboard layout and change when necessary, you can use keyboard shortcuts for that even (System Preferences > Keyboard >> Keyboard Shortcuts >>> Keyboard & Text Input >>>> Select the previous/next input source.

Or you use the FIND & REPLACE editing option in your text editing application.
