Hello people I hope you are all doing well!


I am in a situation. How can I use the single quotation marks ' in a MAC PRO a1286

I just bought it here in Montreal.


I was searching and I found that is an ISO keyboard ( not sure )


My layout is Canadian French.


When a type the corresponding key, it does not print the thing



For now, I appreciate your attention!

What input source are you using for the keyboard in System Preferences / Settings ➜ Keyboards ➜ Input Sources?

That will dictate where the single quote is.


On a regular Canadian English layout, it would be next to the colon and semi colon keys. If using a different input source, it may be somewhere else. What exactly gets typed when you tap on the key?

If its set to Canadian French, it may be on the key next to the M while holding down the shift key.
