Who hates having to press ALT+3 to do a # on a Mac? Well rebind the \ key to #!

[atomiku]

Well, if you're like me, you use # a lot. (CSS, comments, whatever). It's so awkward having to press ALT+3 just to do a #.
So here's how you can rebind your keys so: Pressing \ on the mac keyboard will do a #, and ALT+\ will do a \. SHIFT+ALT+\ will do a |.

I wrote about it on my blog, so instead of pasting it all here I'll just give you the link:

Leave a comment if this helped! No more pressing ALT+3 to do a #!

It's a miracle!

Oh yes, I've swapped my CMD+ALT keys around I think.
How do you guys usually do hashes then?

UK laptops on Macs are a hybrid between the UK and the US layout. Shift+3 will stilll be £ but Shift+2 is @ and " is where @ usually is. Think different.

"Slap nu af din svans."

Roughly translates to "Relax you homo".

This is fun because "svans" in swedish means "tail".

So if you're swedish and look at that then I'm essentially saying something about a tail.

No homo.

Swedish forever.

Lol wtf, when they got to the ÆØÅ part I was laughing, at first I thought it was some bad shit..
But in all seriousness, this is Norwegian - and the keyboard layout is slightly different.
