        Where can I find shortcut keys for special characters?

        Do you mean: “how do I type those characters in my file?” You use your keyboard. If your keyboard doesn’t have those, you would enter the characters the same way you would in any text eidtor or normal typing application on your computer.

        Do you mean: “how do I use those characters for keyboard shortcuts?” You use Settings > Shortcut Mapper, double click on the command whose shortcut you want to change, and pick the “special character” from the drop-down list – note that a character on its own cannot be a shortcut; you need to use a modifier (like Ctrl or Alt) along with it. Please note:
        - In v8.7.6 or newer, the keys specific to your keyboard should be listed in the Shortcut Mapper’s character pulldown
        - In v8.7.5-and-earlier, the mapper only shows the US-EN keys, and you might need to read this FAQ for how to map ~ [ ] ; ' \ / <> and Num . (numeric keypad .) to what keys they actually are on your keyboard: it gives some example mappings for a handfull of keyboards, and shows you a website where you cand

        Do you mean: “how do i search through the Shortcut Mapper to see whether those keys are used in any existing shortcuts?” Use the Filter: ____ field on each page of the Shorcut Mapper.

        See the User Manual’s Shortcut Mapper section for more.
