US keyboard,
Betty,
It depends on your keyboard language selection.
View that in 'System Preferences > Keyboard > Input sources'. If you want a better way to work out what shortcuts cause what output use the Keyboard viewer. In 'System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab, enable the Show keyboard & character viewer in menu bar'.
Open Keyboard Viewer from the menu & hit the modifiers to see what they will output.
thanks, works a treat!
If you would like what is printed on the keys to match what you type, go to system prefs/keyboard/input sources and add US and remove British. Then the £ will be at option 3.
Type the pound sign
