> - There is a § key at the top-left of my MacBook Pro keyboard. It has been there for years, in all the different models (Powerbook, iMac, etc.), and this is the first time in over several months that I've actually touched that key.
Another odd one is the continued lack of a dedicated '#' key on the laptops…
- jvdh 16y agoHmm, the Dutch seem to be blessed with just the single § key. Other European variants are indeed much much worse, check out the Hungarian one: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2841 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2841 That must be a disaster to code on, lacking access to [, ], {, }, and even < and >

- ugh 16y agoThis is in most cases probably not an Apple thing. All German keyboards lack dedicated [], |\, and {} keys. We have umlaut keys instead of those (this is obviously the right tradeoff for the vast majority of all German computer users except programmers). I would like to see the circumflex key (directly below esc) replaced with something more useful but that’s also not an Apple thing. The only thing odd about Apple keyboards is the very narrow enter key.

It's useful as the shortcut for "terminal" in most computer games, but indeed that's about it. Now Scroll Lock and Pause/Break are keys I've never used.
