How can change keyboard letters?

1,2,3,4,5

Shift + the above is

!,",£,$,%

Basically, on my number 2 , there is this symbol @, but if i press shift and number 2, I get this "symbol.

If i press symbol on 3, shift and 3, i get £, but on my 3, there is a hash.

What is this called? How can i cahnge this? I set this keyboard when installing or setting up windows 10 for the first time, but on windows 10 the keyboard is better as it was, instead than mac, so how can i change this? I can't possibly make a hash, hence it will be hard to do CSS.

Take a look on the right hand side of your spacebar. Do you see a key that says "Alt Gr"? If so, try using this in combination with they keys mentioned above. This is a fairly common setup for keyboards in Europe. Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Alt Gr? Not sure what you mean.

Well, the UK is in europe :D and Poland :D I had the UK keyboard set.

What I did is i went into the settings, and into the language and time or rejon, and i had to change it to Polish kayboard, as every computer is different as well. That worked after restarting the computer.

Take a look at this link. This shows the layout for a standard UK keyboard using Windows. This layout is very similar to other parts of Europe. Immediately to the right of the space bar is a key labeled "Alt Gr". Try using this key in combination with your number keys to get the third option to show.

I'm in Poland with Polish computer but i got the US layout on the keyboard. Meanwhile when I was in the UK , on the mac, i had the UK layout which is alright.

But that's nice to know. Thank you :)
