I recently bought a Mac mini and a Belkin KVM switch, which enables me to use my existing monitor, keyboard and mouse with both my current Windows PC and my new Mac mini. There are however quite a few characters I couldn’t find when using the Windows keyboard on Mac, so I will use this thread to remember them. Thanks to Allan for supplying many of the keystrokes for a Windows keyboard with Danish layout.
- Commercial at @ : ALT Gr-* (just ALT-* in some applications)
- Pipe | : ALT-i
- Left brace { : SHIFT-ALT-8
- Right brace } : SHIFT-ALT-9
- Apple Command Key: Windows Key
- Less than < : §
- Greater than > : SHIFT-§
- Copy : Windows Key-C
- Cut : Windows Key-X
- Paste : Windows Key-V
- Quit Application : Windows Key-Q
- Dollar $ : <
- Euro € : SHIFT-4
- Backslash \ : SHIFT-ALT-7
I also found this article, which suggests a software solution to the problem. When I get a Mac keyboard, I should study this. The layout of a Mac keyboard can also be useful.
