Posts: 104/-7750		 Yeah, | is there on my computer below the ESC key, that becomes ° shifted, and ¬ ALT+CTRLed.

Also, it seems my Caracter Map is broken , it shows | as 0x7C, so either you know HEX or you need to open the calculator as well XD

BTW, I think you can mess up the configuration of your keyboard on control panel, and you can transform the \ on your keyboard for a key that áéíóús all vowels and makes the SHIFT+2 a @ and stuff...

Posts: 1811/2602		 I find it funny that the or in the English language works diffrently than the one in boolean algebra. The English language "or" works more like XOR (you can't have both if you want it to be true). While the boolean OR would be and/or in the English language.

I call him "logical Bass" for that same reason.

I'm just not good with remembering numbers and things like that anyway -- Character Map winds up doing the work.

I tend to be apparently a "visual" thinker. If I can find a visual pattern to a number I remember it.

Posts: 39/145		 The Option key on Macintosh makes all the difference (AltCar here has the same purpose), especially since it can be combined with Shift for even more characters, and works with all letters as well ... I remember I could type nearly everything on mine, but there was no Alt-xxxx equivalent

I've memorized the alt codes for all the ones I use with any frequency.

Of course, aside from saying "||bass", I rarely if at all use that symbol. Maybe if I do the :| thing.

Accented letters are horrible to try to type in Windows on my keyboard, but quite easy (if a little fiddly) on my Macintosh.

Same keyboard layout, but the OS makes a lot of difference.

And | exists on my Swedish keyboard at least.

I find typing or coding difficult on any keyboard I'm not used to -- it would only make things worse if the layout changed on me

Posts: 29/145		 It's Shift-# on my French Canadian keyboard (top-left key, like for "~" on American keyboards), in fact I can type much more than them, like §¶µ±£¢¤¬¦²³¼½¾¸¨´«»°¯àèìòùâêîôûáéíóúýäëïöüÿçÀÈÌÒÙÂÊÎÔÛÁÉÍÓÚÝÄËÏÖÜÇ, mostly from AltCar

But I'll admit a few fairly common characters (like \'[]^) are easier to type on American keyboards

Posts: 448/594		 It's alt+0124 for those of you with inferior non-American keyboards.
