In order to use the degree mark - Shot Talk

Coagulator · iTrader: (0) #1 (**permalink**) 08-13-2007, 06:01 PM

I noticed a lot of people here use the * mark instead of the ° mark as in 17°.

If you go to Start -> Programs-> Accessories -> System tools-> Character Map it brings up a window, you can then select the degree character, copy it, and then paste it to your hearts content. Just a tip I kinda like it.

Where is the "you're a crazy person mark"

Too much effort for us lazy bastards. Thanks for the tip though!

That was the shift button and the 8 button.

Much less work.

And if you're on an Apple you can use option-8.

I'll pretend I didn't see that

That was ALT-167

On my laptop, which requires me to press SHIFT-SCROLL LOCK to get the number pad to work (since the standard number keys won't work) and then I forget to press SHIFT-SCROLL LOCK again, which causes me to type screw y64, d6n't 352e hav5ng t6 w6rry ab64t 5t that 04ch....aaaarrrrggghh.

I'll stick to *, thank you very much.

Sling could convert all *s to ºs if he wanted, would solve the problem of us being lazy

Hold down the alt key and type 0186 on the keyboard and when you let up on the alt key the º appears.

Hold down Alt and press the following numbers on your right number keypad.

0186

Well, your statement also answers the question as to why it wouldn't ever happen.

Plus, if Sling ever did that, I'd call him an anal fairy. I doubt he wants that.

I will never use it, but was wondering how it was done. Will actually use the Russian alphabet.
