About this tool
Windows Alt codes are typed by holding Alt and entering the digits on the numeric keypad. Mac shortcuts use the Option key, sometimes combined with a letter afterwards for accents. The Mac shortcuts shown are for the standard UK and US keyboard layouts (where they differ, the US one is shown) — other layouts may vary. On a phone, swipe the table sideways to see every column.
