How to write "@" in android emulator ?

Question

I have a MAC and with OPT-ò (italian keyboard layout) I can write "@" in ALL application but not in "Android emulator". I don't want to press "char per char" via virtual keyboard in my app. Is it possibile (and how) write "@" without virtual keyboard?

Answer 1

You can add english keyboard and use shift+2 with keyboard switching. Not so cool but you can do it without mouse.

Or if you need input long text may be easier is use adb

adb shell input text 'type\ text\ here'

Answer 2

Alt + 64 works too, I'm using spanish keyboard
