If your keyboard has neither key, see [[The Break key]] for how to configure another key as BREAK. h3. ALT key functions You can generate any character on the keyboard (and quite a few that aren't on the keyboard) by holding down the *Alt* key and typing the character code on the numeric keypad. For example, Alt-163 would produce a £ symbol with the Latin1 alphabet. Some special characters can also be produced by pressing Alt and a letter key. The following shortcuts are available with the Latin1 alphabet: <table border="1" cellspacing="0"> <tr><th bgcolor="silver">Key</th> <th bgcolor="silver">Alt character</th> <th bgcolor="silver">Shift-Alt character</th></tr> <tr><td>1</td><td>1 superscript</td><td>Inverted exclamation mark</td></tr> <tr><td>2</td><td>2 superscript</td><td> </td></tr> <tr><td>3</td><td>3 superscript</td><td>Currency symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>4</td><td>Euro symbol</td><td> </td></tr> <tr><td>5</td><td> </td><td>Permil symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>7</td><td>One-quarter symbol</td><td> </td></tr> <tr><td>8</td><td>One-half symbol</td><td>Bullet point</td></tr> <tr><td>9</td><td>Three-quarters symbol</td><td>Plus-minus symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>A</td><td>Lower-case ae ligature</td><td>Upper-case AE ligature</td></tr> <tr><td>B</td><td>Close single quotes</td><td>Close double quotes</td></tr> <tr><td>C</td><td>Cent symbol</td><td>Copyright symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>D</td><td>Lower-case eth (Icelandic)</td><td>Upper-case eth (Icelandic)</td></tr> <tr><td>F</td><td> </td><td>Feminine ordinal symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>I</td><td>Lower-case fi ligature</td><td>Upper-case FI ligature</td></tr> <tr><td>L</td><td>Lower-case fl ligature</td><td>Upper-case FL ligature</td></tr> <tr><td>M</td><td>Mu (Greek)</td><td>Masculine ordinal symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>N</td><td> </td><td>Lower right double quote</td></tr> <tr><td>O</td><td>Lower-case o with diagonal line</td><td>Upper-case O with diagonal line</td></tr> <tr><td>P</td><td>Lower-case thorn (Icelandic)</td><td>Upper-case thorn (Icelandic)</td></tr> <tr><td>Q</td><td>Lower-case oe ligature</td><td>Upper-case OE ligature</td></tr> <tr><td>R</td><td>Pilcrow</td><td>Registered trade mark symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>S</td><td>Eszett (German)</td><td>Section sign</td></tr> <tr><td>T</td><td>Trade mark symbol</td><td> </td></tr> <tr><td>V</td><td>Open single quotes</td><td>Open double quotes</td></tr> <tr><td>X</td><td>Close double angle quote</td><td>Close single angle quote</td></tr> <tr><td>Y</td><td> </td><td>Yen symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>Z</td><td>Open double angle quote</td><td>Open single angle quote</td></tr> <tr><td>`</td><td>Broken vertical bar</td><td>Degree symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>-</td><td>Soft hyphen</td><td>Minus sign</td></tr> <tr><td>=</td><td>En-rule</td><td>Em-dash</td></tr> <tr><td>;</td><td>(accents - see below)</td><td>Ellipsis</td></tr> <tr><td>#</td><td>Dagger symbol</td><td>Double dagger symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>\</td><td>Interpunct (middle dot)</td><td> </td></tr> <tr><td>,</td><td>(accents - see below)</td><td>Multiplication symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>.</td><td>(accents - see below)</td><td>Division symbol</td></tr> <tr><td>/</td><td>(accents - see below)</td><td>Inverted question mark</td></tr> <tr><td>space</td><td>Non-breaking space</td><td> </td></tr> </table> Accented letters can be generated by pressing Alt and one of the characters [ ] ; ' , . / followed by the letter you want the accent applied to.

Macro keys Three keys on the bottom row of the keyboard (the two "flag" keys and the "menu" key) can be configured to perform predetermined actions. This is done via <b>Configure > Keyboard</b> which allows you to assign a command to each of the keys. For example, you can set a key to open a directory or run an application by dragging the appropriate icon to the input field on the Keyboard configuration window. --- h2. Mouse h3.

Icon bar interactions * Hovering the mouse at the very bottom of the screen will temporarily bring the icon bar to the front if it's hidden behind other windows. * If there are too many icons on the icon bar for them to all fit on screen at once, hovering the mouse at either end of the icon bar will scroll it in the corresponding direction. * Dragging a file to a device icon will send it to that device. * Dragging a file to an application will open it in that application. * Dragging a file to an empty space on the icon bar has the same effect as double-clicking on the file (i.e. the file will be run/opened as appropriate).
