Method for typing symbols in text

[TrueNorthist]

I think we have discovered some x-platform quirks in the coding of this site! On another note, notice the jump to your last comment in the thread "arrow" symbol is gone after yesterday's maintenance? That is a bummer. ∩

Alt + 234 is easier than all the extra characters Ω. List of alt characters here: http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/altchrc.html

Wow. Alt + 234 makes my browser jump to another tab! Alt + 2 = Switch tabs in Firefox on Ubuntu Linux so it jumps as soon as you hit the 2 key. This is kinda fun. Cheers for the link Sheriff!

I forgot to mention that those work in Windows with the number pad. You sound as happy as I was when I realized that the shift key scrolls one page at a time, Shift + space scrolls up one page at a time and backspace goes back a page in the browser, among a handful of other key combos that I've figured out over the years.

Yes, I've used the alt codes for quite some time now. They're fun

To achieve that I typed the number two ( 2 ) followed by the ampersand ( & ) then the pound sign ( # ) and nine three seven (937) and a semicolon ( ; ) If I type that without the 2 and the brackets it will show the Ω (ohm) sign.

This really doesn't work. It's just typing 2Ω. All I know is that the characters must start with Alt.

EDIT: Well, it did, apparently when I clicked the send reply button.
