If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

Shift + 2 gives me " (double quote), for example
Shift + 3 gives me £, etc.

Interesting that the GB entries are as follows:

To type a Euro sign: €
alt + 0128 (US)
shift + 3 (GB)

To type a Pound sign: £
alt + 0163 (US)
alt gr + 4 (GB)

The wikipedia page shows the correct keyboard layouts though...

I have a file for this dating from 2005...

Code: Select all

Keyboard Character Mapping
==========================
or, how to get that character using the numeric keypad.

Method
------
Alt+nnn   Ensure the NumLock light is lit,
          hold down the  Alt  key
          type  nnn  on the numeric keypad
          then release the  Alt  key
            (uses DOS Code Page 850)

Alt+nnnn  Ensure the NumLock light is lit,
          hold down the  Alt  key
          type  nnnn  on the numeric keypad
            (always starts with 0, zero)
          then release the  Alt  key
            (uses Windows Code Page 1252)



Non-alpha   850 1252   850 1252   850 1252   850 1252   850 1252   850 1252

Quite green, and fairly illegible!

But not a problem - I have the ones I need from the numeric keypad memorised.
