Shortcut Mapping for Hash Sign "#" not possible
-
I would like to define the shortcut Ctrl-#, but # is not available in the List.
Thanks for any advice. -
On a standard US keyboard, the
#shares the same key with3, and to type a#you would useShift+3. So for Shortcut Mapper, theCtrl+#sequence is reallyCtrl+Shift+3Update 1: In this post, @guy038 has shared all the possible combinations available to the shortcut mapper._
Update 2: In another discussion, @dinkumoil shared how some of the german keyboard virtual-key codes (VK) line up with the Shortcut Mapper: that one shows that there is a separate
#key, which has the same VK_OEM_2 as the/ ?key on the US keyboard, so, for shortcuts, the#key on a German keyboard is/in Shortcut Mapper. (Given that you’re asking about the#key, I am guessing you might be using a German keyboard; but it’s just a guess.)Update 3: @guy038’s original list of combos has been moved to the FAQ section; @dinkumoil’s post has been replicated in that FAQ; and I have added a reference at the end of the FAQ to be able to easily explore the VK for any given keyboard, so that if you’re not using US, French, or German keyboards, you can still find out what VK each key is.
