iwato Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 How do I find the PHP sign (similar to the $ sign on my Apple computer? The keyboard is configured for the spanish language because I live in Chile!If you are still on an Apple machine, then find the language icon (probably a flag) in the main menu of your Finder window (top right corner or thereabouts). Click on it. In the drop-down menu that appears find the Show Keyboard Viewer Option. In Spanish this option might read "Muestre el espectador del teclado", but this is only a guess. Then, apply your option, shift, and control keys to change the keyboard interface until you can discover the character that you want.Roddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduard Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 It´s not the dollar sign? So, where about do I have to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffman Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 For many years, the Mac option key has also been labeled "alt," though in smaller letters. This may be to help PC users make a smoother transition.OTOH, it does sound like the question is not getting answered here. A more appropriate forum might be one that deals specifically with Spanish-language Macintosh users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It's difficult for me to find help for this, because all of my search results are in English (and I wouldn't know if the answers in Spanish are helpful anyway). I would suggest using Google to search for a Spanish phrase similar to something like "spanish mac keyboard dollar sign" (except, obviously, in Spanish; any answers are going to be in Spanish). You could throw in a "-ipad" to skip results that contain "ipad". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
