Move over here,and use the UK keyboard langauge. :D

Try one of these:

AltGr+5 (If your keyboard doesn't have an AltGr key, use the right hand Alt key)

or

Alt+0128 (hold down the Alt key and type 0128 on the numeric keypad)

Any more shortcuts rex... I like that one... alt+ctrl+s gives window split :D

Yeah well other shortcuts go by trial and error. ;) Pressing alt and on the numpad three digits gives a variety of different letters and symbols.

Just noticed that in linux these shortcuts dont work...dang
