alt 0176

[CaptainMike]

I just learned that entering alt0176 makes a °. My work here is done, time for a nap.

[smokenoob]

When you wake up, where is the alt button in iPad?

[CaptainMike]

I think it's an expensive upgrade.

Donw gave me the secret password

You have to buy the Apple Degree Dongle for $39.99.

[Panhead John]

I’ll alert the media.

[CaptainMike]

I can see the headlines now "CaptainMike Offends The alt Key" "CaptainMike is a Rabid Anti-altite" "CaptainMike Under Investigation for Using alt Key InappropriatelÝ"

[RonB]

And I thought you were talkin' about a band. °I°

Ya got to start reading other posts - I've been using that for a long time...

ALT CODES To use them, just hold down the alt key and type the number code. ☻

[CaptainMike]

Who KñΣw¿

[Donw]

On an iPad switch to the .?123 keyboard and press and hold the 0 key. Slide up to the alternative pop-up and you get the ° symbol.

[smokenoob]

Informative to the n^th °

[CaptainMike]

[FireMan]

I’m on my phone, so what do do fer that?

[CaptainMike]

Now THAT one I know.

Why do all that and memorize all that when you can simply open a new tab, move your cursor up to the URL field, type "google.com", click enter, type "degree symbol" in the search box, click enter, open the first page showing a degree symbol, highlight the degree symbol, highlight it again because you highlighted way past just the degree symbol, highlight it a third time because it is actually really hard to only highlight a degree symbol, then you finally got it so right-click, copy, then go back to the other tab you were typing in, put the cursor where you want the newly-copied degree symbol, right-click again, then click paste from the pop-up menu. Bask in your tech savvy-ness a moment with a narrow-eyed smile and slow nod before clicking Post.

You guys and your short cuts. You won't get very far in life using short cuts.

[CaptainMike]

Hahahahaha! ☺

[FireMan]

I did get to read down to the third line…………

[CaptainMike]

Dang, my fingers hurt just looking at that!

[smokenoob]

©️I now need a nap ©️

[ecowper]

you know, it's a pain to the nth° to figure out that neither Option + 0176 nor Option + 176 work on a Mac keyboard BUT Option + Shift + 8 does actually insert ° for you

[smokenoob]

Yeah, took me a while to break the code to brother. We still got it!

[CaptainMike]

Yeah, you Applephiles are in your own world.

It's the 21st century, graphical computing interfaces have been around for decades -- yet still, special characters get displayed incorrectly. I avoid them like the płæūģę.

[FireMan]

I can see why cuz ya got stuff all over that last word! 🧐

[CaptainMike]

I recently entered my 7 decade and I don't remember graphical computing interfaces on my abacus.

[MBMorgan]

CaptainMike - They say … uh … that something … is … uh … the first to … uh … something.

What were we talking about?

[smokenoob]

another slide tip on ipad/iphone
ya know when ya try to edit a long comment ya made and the editor keyboard comes up but it won’t let ya get past the first 3 lines? Bring up the keyboard and slide yer finger on the space bar, the whole long text will now become visible and ya can fix all yer goofs on yer comment. I need a nap…..

[Dewesq55]

The Google keyboard for Android has a degree symbol on the second level numeric/symbols keyboard.

[JimLinebarger]

alt 248 does the same thing. ° I have the ascii table printed out next to my computer so I can do Spanish symbols plus others.

Someone please pass the salt....
