kind of dumb question

[Cile]

alright, on american keyboards, when you press shift+4 it makes a dollar $ sign, but here is my question... in other countries where pounds are used for surrency (i think its pounds, lol) does it make a "pound" sign when you press shift+4? i know this is a dumb question, but its been bugging me all day lol

No, on other keyboards we simply have to press shift+3

See ££££££££ lol

Hope this helps

HAHAH! Thanks for posting that!

My question is
If someone brings a Mexican keyboard to the states, do they have to press Shift+4 several times in order to compensate for the exchange rate? Do we have to press Shift+4 more times in Canada?

Also if I press shift+4 on a TRS80 does a cent sign pop up?

Worth pondering..possibly

my god. Firstly, pounds are only used in one country, thats england. The other country's use all sorts of different currencies (just look at the exchange rates in a newpaper to see the main ones).
Secondly, it really depends on what type of keyboard. I've seen QWERTZ keyboards, QWERTY keyboards, AZERTY keyboards and even ABCDEF keyboards! In switzerland, mainly QWERTZ keyboards are used.
If i press shift+0, it makes this sign: =
If i press shift+9, it makes this sign: )
If i press shift+8, it makes this sign: (
If i press shift+7, it makes this sign: /
If i press shift+6, it makes this sign: &
If i press shift+5, it makes this sign: %
If i press shift+4, it makes this sign: ç
If i press shift+3, it makes this sign: *
If i press shift+2, it makes this sign: "
If i press shift+1, it makes this sign: +

 

[Dr Studly]

for us it is

If i press shift+0, it makes this sign: )
If i press shift+9, it makes this sign: (
If i press shift+8, it makes this sign:*
If i press shift+7, it makes this sign:&
If i press shift+6, it makes this sign:^
If i press shift+5, it makes this sign:%
If i press shift+4, it makes this sign:$
If i press shift+3, it makes this sign:#
If i press shift+2, it makes this sign
If i press shift+1, it makes this sign:!

HOW DO U MAKE ONE OF THESE IN SWTZERLAND??? --- >>> !

No, its not the keybord that matters, but the languag ef your PC. for example, this Keyboar dis an English one. its written in enlgish, have no acents, etc. but i changed the PC's languageinto french, and now i do ge the àcênts.

and for shift + 4, i get $ sign too (in french and English)
