"Brackets"? What f#$%ing brackets?!

[Stein Inge]

Okay, here´s the deal:

I use a MacBook to navigate the interwebs and if I want to, say, embed a "spoilers!" thingy or something like that, I have to make use of what is known as brackets. The problem is that in his infinite wisdom St. Jobs has decidied that brackets has no place on his laptops!
Or if he has I can´t bloody find them...

Any help?

[][][][][][][][] you mean these? They are next to the p key on my MacBook...

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

Aren't they usually next to the "p" key?

Oh darn. Ninja'd by Kirby.

 

[barash]

My condolences on your choice of tech. I can't help you, go in peace.

">"
"<"
"{"

I laughed.
OT: I think they're near the 'p' key, or thats where they are on my sister's Mac.

 

[tinkyyy]

I'm on a Macbook too, they're next to the P key on mine.

Maybe you have some special keyboard on yours designed specifically to be frustrating

 

[Outright Villainy]

I think you can use the less than and greater than signs if you don't have the square brackets:

Edit: When I press post, the turn into square brackets you see.

Also, brackets is fine I guess, but parenthesis is a much more fun word!

That´s where I have the letter Å. Norwegian you see. It would seem that there is a plot to keep the angry norsemen out of forums everywhere....

I have ( ), on 8 and 9 respectively, and aaaaaand that´s it....

You could always quote someone, then copy-paste the brackets from the quoted text XD

Though might work...
testing... yay!

Well, I'm glad that that's been settled. Now lets blame Apple for some more things.

Thee Apple equivalent of Alt GR + 8 or 9 on Norwegian keyboards according to wikipedia, and we all know that is infallible

 

[Dublin Solo]

I'm a believer in ASCII codes. Anyone else? They work everywhere, everytime, for all characters. Alt+0091 and Alt-0093!

 

[Spygon]

well i see the problem here you have actually paid for a mac related product lol.Only joking sorry can not help you as i dont use macs sure the guys above me are much more helpful on them side of things

 

[The Almighty Grigard]

Press alt and then 8 and 9 there are your brackets. Or just use .

 

[Mechsoap]

isn't it after what language you use on your keyboard?

Ok, i see your problem is solved. But if you ever happen to run across a different keyboard (even if its in chinese),this site enables you to use a virtual keyboard in any language.

Hope it helps.
