MacOS – Dollar sign on danish keyboard

keyboardmacbook promacos

I'm running a macbook pro on English language, with a danish keyboard (Microsoft Ergonomic 400) – for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the dollar sign out of it.

I'm used to press AltGr+4 to get it. Now it just gives me the £ sign.

It seems the layout may have been modified.

Try using AltGr+Shift+3.

You can also check what key combinations produce what characters by enabling the On-Screen-Keyboard :

  • Open System Preferences and go to “Keyboard”, and look under the “Keyboard” tab
  • Check the box next to “Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar”
  • Enable the virtual keyboard input in Mac OS X
  • Pull down the newly visible Keyboard menu and choose “Show Keyboard Viewer”
