Hi,
The Option key is actually really useful, there are all kinds of characters you
can type all with the addition of the Option key. Some examples are below:
Option+Less than (<) gives you less than or equals
Option+greater than (>) gives you greater than or equals
Option+slash (the forward slash) gives you a divided by symbol
Option+0 gives you a degree sign
Option+equals sign gives you not equals sign
Option+p gives you pi (π)
Option+4 gives you the cents sign
Option+g gives you the Copyright sign
Option+1 gives you the upside down exclamation like the one in the singer Pink
(P¡nk)
Option+8 gives you the bullet as mentioned
For other languages such as French, you use the following:
Option+e then press the "e" a second time gives you é (e with acute accent)
Option+`(accent key to the left of the number 1) followed by "e" gives you è
("e" with accent grav)
Do the same but use the letter "a" to get à.
Option+c gives you ç ("c" cedilla)
Play with it and you'll find lots of other mappings as well. Most you'll never
need but they're fun anyway.
