Trying to be Helpful -- The Alt Commands
Saturday, February 24, 2007 7:35 PM
I don't know if this has been done before, but I'd figure I'd post them because some of them are interesting. I think there's the Greek alphabet, and useful symbols for math and languanges, but most of the others seem silly (unless everything but your numbers and Alt key stop working, and you need to type something
). ::shrugs::Oh, and apologies if they're too small, or the columns don't come out like I wanted them to. I'll try to fix those after I save this entry.
EDIT: It's fixed the best I know how. The discrepencies in column alignment come from different symbol and number sizes.
For the less technologically savvy, I'll do my best to explain how these work. To make those symbols appear, one holds down the Alt button (usually next to the spacebar on either side) while typing the number. It's like holding Shift down to type a colon (:), capitalize letters, or enclose things with parenthesis.
(Oh, and it works better if you use the number keypad to the side - or the fn button, found on some laptops.) Alt + # =symbol Alt + # =symbol Alt + # =symbol
