With all those empty upper-right hand corners of keys, why isn't there a better way of generating these characters, perhaps through a CTRL-ALT-SHIFT modifier key combination?Īll I've been able to find regarding generation of these characters are the following ALT-codes:įrom selenium.webdriver import ActionChainsįrom import Serviceįrom import Byįrom webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManagerįrom import Proxy, ProxyType Upon further inspection, we can see that all of the US ASCII keyboard / programmer's keyboard are covered by the keys of the Italian keyboard, except for the following, which are the tilde, which is especially useful on the Linux command line and is used to refer to a user's home directory on such system, as well as the back-tick (`), also known as the back-quote, which is also very useful on the Linux shell when we want to turn the output of a command into a command-line input. Such characters are also fundamental to programming as they can, for instance, be found in CSS, namely with media queries and with selectors referring to the id html attribute. (Actually as the MSKLC application shows, SHIFT + AltGr + are enough to generate the curly braces.)Ĭharacters such as the at sign (called 'chiocciola' in Italian) and the hash (#) key (called 'cancelletto' in Italian) found in the lower right hand corner of the keyboard can be generated easily as follows (AltGr + or (AltGr + #). (RIGHT SHIFT or LEFT SHIFT) + (RIGHT CTRL or LEFT CTRL) + (Alt or AltGR) + () These characters, found in the upper right corners of the given keys, can usually be generated with the following key combinations: This is because while the other characters can be seen visually as printed characters on most Italian keyboards, these purple characters are actually usually not printed on the keyboard's keys. As you can see, the curly braces, which are absolutely necessary to write code in any of C, C++, JavaScript, Java, Objective-C, and others, appear in purple in this picture.
