Japanese kana keyboard documentation Hi I got a MacBook pro with Japanese Kana keyboard and would like to know how to type on this thing. I mean type in Japanese. But hardly anything works. I don't know how to type smallcase characters in Hiragana. When I type in Katakana instead all characters come out as smallcase for some weird reason. I also don't know how to "reach" the 4th character on a 4-character key. I tried all combinations of shift and option and command and control and ... but doesn't work. So I'm desperately searching for the documentation for that thing. Without luck so far. Can be in Japanese if it has to :/

Absent Curly Brackets Keys "{ }"- MacBook Pro Portuguese Keyboard Dear community members, I bought a MacBook Pro M3 from Portugal, with a keyboard in Portuguese. I saw there are no opening and closing curly brackets "{ }" natively on this keyboard. After using the "Option" key combined with any other key, do not return these curly brackets. "Option + 'parentheses'" returned me square brackets "[ ]" instead. So is there a way to remap keys on the MacBook Pro keyboard so I can switch from any useless symbols to curly brackets or get them natively using some combination keys? In time: the Apple support website Atalhos de teclado do Mac - Suporte Apple (PT) does not have the answer. Thank you in advance! Sincerely, Marcelo Regis Bernardo

For some reason you are getting the "full width" Japanese version instead of the normal ascii version. What font are you using? And what input source?

PS What do you get when you type Option ¥ ?
