a key with that tiny circles which denotes
degrees, as in celsius or fahrenheit or
degrees in a circle. why? because i hate
searching through key caps and option
keying everything yo find a simple °. the
alternative is writing out "degrees" every
time. maybe this is a personal peeve, but
still, it's not too much trouble.

how to remap keys in OS X [neilp, Feb 04 2005]

can't you program it to do that ? |
|
| |
p.s. now I'll just come to the HB and copy your example. |
|
| |
turns out it's shift-option-8 (on a mac,
anyway) but still. I'll likely not
remember that. And I personally have
no idea how to program a keyboard. |

alt+0176 (keypad on wintel)° |
|
| |
This could be shifted under the number pad, along with ohm, µ, ±, ©, ®, •, ™, infinity, and delta. (Some symbols refuse to appear on the web). |
|
| |
Trying to remember randoms numbers for common symbols is annoying. |

hi [Schematics] it seems that the apple keyboards (under OS X) allow you to decide what output is achieved by pressing which key according to an XML file, which you can edit. It looks a little hard core, but would solve your problem (assuming you're using OS X?). |
|
| |
If you're using MS-Word, just set the autoreplace thing to insert a degree sign every time you type "$degree$" or something. Just like typing ° when you're writing HTML. |
|
| |
I recorded a macro for this using the insert symbol menu, then gave it a button on my toolbar. Now when I need it I click the button. |
|
| |
BeauBeaton: I think you have the wrong
symbol. Alt+0 (º) looks like it's a
masculine ordinal, since alt+9 gives a
feminine one (ª). Alt+shift+8 is degrees
(°). I remember it because round things are
on the 8 key (asterisk, bullet, degree) |

Does everyone use Apples in this place!!! We all know there are ways to do this, but I agree that the symbol is commonly used and deserves its own position among the shift symbols on a standard English(US) or English(UK) keyboard. It is more commonly used than "the hat" ^, or square and curly brackets {}[] or the circumflex ~ and even as common as the % percent, particularly with scientific types.... |
|
| |
I vote for the Degree Kee! |
|
| |
(Another point, Why do we have that wierd elbow symbol on the top left key on the keyboard? ¬ |
|
| |
Has anyone ever used that????!!!) |
