SS01 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 It appears that I can't type square brackets (the ones used in BBCode) from my French Canadian keyboard layout. Tried different "macs" and Windows PC's, same thing - Alt + ^, which everywhere else results in a bracket, results in nothing happening. Could a staff member please have a look at this? Thanks!

Poco Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 [ ] Hmm... works for me on my keyboard using Alt Car + ^ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285478-cant-type-brackets/#findComment-1878612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS01 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 I tried using both left and right Alt keys, and still nothing. If it matters I'm using an Apple Keyboard which has option instead of alt or alt car, but option + ^ works fine anywhere else in the OS, including other VBulletin forums. Hmm...

Alessandro17 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 [ ] I can type them simply from the keyboard of a MacBook Pro. Also tried with an external wireless PC keyboard. No problem there either. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285478-cant-type-brackets/#findComment-1878632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS01 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 ARe you sure you have the right keyboard layout? The one i am using is http://matthieu.yiptong.ca/2009/09/09/canadian-french-keyboard-layout-for-mac-os-x/ and by option + ^, I mean option plus where ^ is on my keyboard. That's be option + left bracket on the standard apple keyboard once set to the above layout.
