I find this baffling, but I simply cannot type the semicolon (the symbol ; ) on a MacBook Pro 2021 with the Hungarian - 101 key keyboard. I have checked the settings that show what keys are used for which character (under Keyboard -> Input Sources), but the semicolon is simply non-existent.
So yeah, the question is in the title. How can I write a semicolon on this keyboard setup?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.2
Try option period.
Your keyboard is qwertz, right?
Keyboard Viewer is the way to see what every key does
Use the Keyboard Viewer on Mac - Apple Support

I've tried every combination of option, control, shift, and a combination of all these plus all keys. There's no semicolon whatsoever.
That seems correct, Apple's Hungarian Qwerty layout has no semicolon. Let them know about this bug via
It's pretty easy to make a custom layout that adds this key with Ukelele.
(I could do this a couple minutes if you know where you want it).
Or get these

No, it's QWERTY. And that combination doesn't give me a semicolon, it gives a > sign. I've tried every combination of option, control, shift, and a combination of all these plus all keys. There's no semicolon whatsoever.

You have a MacBook with a qwerty keyboard? I thought all Apple machines only came with Hungarian qwertz. Could you post a picture of the keyboard?
The hardware is qwertz but I use the qwerty layout. It's what I'm used to. So where there's physically a Z, if I push it, it writes a Y.
I just remember I made one of these already 10 years ago which you can try

How do I use this? It looks like an XML file, Mac doesn't recognize it. I still think it's crazy not to have a semicolon by default on the software-QWERTY layout on MacBooks for Hungarian.
Put the ,keylayout file in library/keyboard layouts and then activate in system prefs/keyboard/input sources. Look in the Others category
Did that work in the end? Apple's own Hungarian Qwerty seems really odd.
