    Default Useful keyboard shortcuts

    For ¼ hold Alt key & press 0188
    For ½ " " " 0189
    For ¾ " " " 0190
    For ° " " " 248 or 0176
    For ÷ " " " 0247
    For ± " " " 0177
    For £ " " " 0163
    For ¢ " " " 0162

    I find these very useful, especially the ° for C or F & the fractions, hope other members do to

    Default The Shortcuts.

    Hi All,
    JeffW, I had a go with what you stated, but still no go.
    Googled Beremboke to see if was the same one we go past regularly.
    Map said it was near Melton, & I thought, I would not like to Walk it.
    Will have to get someone In to fix this Puter of mine.
    Thanks anyway.
    Regards,
    issatree.

    Windows key + D takes you back to the desktop. Very useful when you have a load of windows open.

    Since we don't have a Windows key- probably not We can press fn + f11 though.


    The opening poster hasn't posted keyboard shortcuts, but HTML Special Entities and as such will only work online. If you want a bigger list, you can look here

    Default The Keys.

    Thanks all,
    Os, it still doesn't work, but I may have some Help coming soon.
    After turning the Num Lock on I got my 2nd. light back on, my Keyboard, as I wondered how it was not on anymore.
    Another small prob. fixed.

    Tried the ¼ and the ½ via the number pad on right
    of keyboard but they did not work.

    Tried again but did not press "Enter" after entering the numbers
    ... simply released finger off the "Alt' key and they work ok.

    Might be worth another try Issatree.
