# Hash Key?

Problem: If you buy a Macbook in UK, you'll look for the # key in vain. It's just not there. But it's essential when coding!

Solution: Alt+3 will print the Hash character.
If this doesnt work, it might be that Alt+3 is assigned to something else, for example switch to space number 3. Check the Space preferences.

To know more: You can vizualize the position of all special characters. Go to Preference/International/Input Menu
Check 'Keyboard Viewer' in the list, and 'Show input menu' at the bottom.

There should be a flag on the right of the menu bar (top of the screen). Click on it and select the keyboard viewer. Try pressing shift, option, etc, and see what you can get :-)
