@Tail But what was it that produced the degree symbol that worked?

@MisterE Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+V

@Tail OK. Whatever works for you. But, there should be a keyboard shortcut that works besides cut and paste.

@MisterE I swear there is but no idea why none of these aren't working. It might actually be CoSo? Idk

@Tail Differences among hardware in use as well, I think.

@MisterE I was about to say, do you have a ten-keyless keyboard? I don't have a number pad rn and that's what I always used and never had problems.

@Tail There is a pad on my keyboard. I even tried it with NUM LOCK engaged. No go.

@MisterE @Tail

I just used the alt +0176 and it worked on my keyboard °

@99reasons4truth @MisterE Did you use a keypad or the numbers at the top?

@Tail @MisterE
Keypad

@99reasons4truth @MisterE Pretty sure that's the difference. Try the top row and see if it works.

@Tail @MisterE
I just did and it didn't work

@99reasons4truth @MisterE Expected as much, pretty sure it's to do with those buttons also being mapped to other alt characters.

I'm using a tenkeyless keyboard so I can't do it. :(

@Tail @MisterE
I have a beautiful mechanical keyboard that clicks along. It's my first nice keyboard.

@99reasons4truth NICE! Can I ask which one? I've got as clicky a keyboard as I can. I actually "downgraded" from one of the big brand top of the line keyboards down to a cheap no-name $50 keyboard and it's amazing. Cherry Blue switches ftw

@Tail
It's a Unicomp New Model M

@99reasons4truth ! WITH THE CLICKINESS OF THE OLD IBMS?!

@Tail
Yes!! And you can take the keys off to clean. Which I've done bc I've spilled green tea and water on it lol
I probably need a key cover.

@99reasons4truth @Tail

OK. After doing a little Googling, I did the ALT +0176, but with NUM LOCK set, and it worked.

@MisterE That's the trick, I don't have a numlock/keypad

@MisterE @Tail

Worked in autocad ?

@damselfly59
lol! Some experience with CAD says those macros don't transfer.
