Curly braces on a Mac: The short Mac keyboard reference running Mac

I recently did a short table on the bizarre keyboard mapping on a Macbook Pro, when running Windows on such creature. Well – it turns out that also running native Mac OSX will require some explanation.

Note: I’ve got a DK keyboard.

/	shift + 7
\	shift + alt + 7
[	alt + 8
]	alt + 9
@	alt + *
{	shift + alt + 8
}	shift + alt + 9

Curly braces on a Mac: The short Mac keyboard reference running Windows

I’ve started using a MacBook Pro for ordinary day use at work, as I’m about to embark on an iPhone journey. This requires a Macintosh!

As I’m also using the Macbook Pro for Windows development (.NET) as well, I have to span 2 different keyboards and OS’s on the same machine. Now – the Mac does not have the same number of keys as the ordinary Windows PC does, hence one is missing a lot of keys that you have come to know by heart. To help out myself as I tend to forget this exoteric keyboard mapping; I’ve decided to compile a list of keyboard shortcuts when operating in the Windows Operativ System on a Mac.

Note: I’ve a DK keyboard scheme set up.

Combination/Key	Keyboard (Windows)	Keyboard (Mac)
Delete	del	fn + backspace
@	ctrl + 2	alt(right) + *
/	shift + 7	shift + 7
\	alt gr + <	alt(right) + <
[	alt gr + 8	alt(right) + 8
]	alt gr + 9	alt(right) + 9
{	alt gr + 7	alt(right) + 7
}	alt gr + 0	alt(right) + 0
Page Down		fn + page down
Page Up		fn + page up
|		alt(right) + ´
Print Screen	(print screen :-)	Shift + Fn + F11
