how do you write ? and @ in a macbook pro?

For the life of me, I can't find a single one where @ and ? aren't marked on the keycaps.

Yes, I agree the OP can probably see it but it does not work.

My guess would be that the OP is in Spain and has mistakenly chosen Spanish for her layout rather than Spanish ISO. This is a very common mistake and results in the @ being at Option + G instead of where it is marked, which is Option + 2. (It could never be at Shift + G as she stated).

Let me make it easier:

Is this your keyboard?

Shootist: There are many diferent keyboard layouts in use in different countries of the world. They don't all have the same characters in the same places.

How did you write those characters IN YOUR POST?

Matt

the answer: to type @ hold either shift key and press the "2" button. To type "?" hold the right shift key and press the key right next to it. This is on a QWERTY keyboard.

If you are running Lion: tap and hold the key where you want the accent on: after a second or 2-3 all possibilities will bedisplayed to choose, like in iOS5 on the iPad/iPhone.

Look at your keyboard carefully until you see the @ sign and the ? sign.

Thank you Fane.

How can looking for accented vowels find you the @ key? Did you mean to post this in some other thread?

owow Tom, indeed, this is already the third time that a post from me lost its way and came above in another thread.😊 I'll take more care next time, sorry to disturb all of you.
