Apple Mac Keyboard # hashtag – where is it?

Where is the Hashtag on my Apple Mac keyboard?

It’s really annoying that many Apple keyboards don’t have a # hashtag. This is especially annoying when you tweet a lot and want to emphasize or tag your post with a hash tag using a Mac. If you are like me and are pretty tired of googling it every time you need to find it, or cutting and pasting an existing hash tag,  I suggest using a post-it note on your monitor with the following written on it. If you are a WordPress blogger then save yourself loads of time and check out our WordPress keyboard shortcuts, or you may like to read our apple ipad 5 tips for social media.

# = Alt + 3
€ = Alt + 2
© = Alt + G
• = Alt + 8

WAIT! Don’t go away I’ve written a really simple and short tutorial on turning on your Special Character Viewer on Mac so even when you forget your keyboard shortcuts you can still find those elusive symbols easily. Also it’s the only simple way of typing a % on a Mac.

All of you lovely Mac users may be interested in our training courses such as Google Analytics Training and SEO Training.

You might also want to suggest Keyboard Viewer. Run this little utility and you can see the effect of the modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt, cmd) in real time. It’s so handy that I have it available from the input menu (country flag menu), see International in System Preferences.

Oh, to be pedantic, the hashtag is the word that comes with the # _character_.
