    I must be daft but I just cannot find how to enter characters like \,[,{ etc...
    They are very useful in regex writing and the solution that implies copy/paste is just not on.. (and the tool RegexBuddy is only available in Windows)
    Is there a way to use the numeric apple keyboard where these are obtained through Alt-Shift : , Shift-Alt ( and Alt ( ?
    When I key these when in Parallels I just get a "bump" sound...
    Thanks for help on this
     
  2. Hi, did you try steps from this KB article?

    MacBook Pro 13" 2018 Touchbar OSX Mojave - used as "desktop" (closed) external Screen and Apple French Numerical Keyboard

    Got it, I've got to use the right handside Alt Command when in Mac Os it's the left one...
