Question in the topic. I couldn't find anything in google. Friend of mine has same problem:
When running an app in the iPhone Simulator and I want to type an email address into a text field, I can't do this using the normal MacBook's keyboard. When I use the normal way to type the @ sign (Alt+L), what I get in the simulator is the mathematical negation symbol (¬) instead of @.
My keyboard settings in the Mac are correct otherwise.
As you can see, the @ sign is located on the L key, which also works when working e.g. in a text editor on the Mac:
When holding down the Alt key, the simulation of a pinch-gesture is started. Maybe it has to do with this functionality. Can I assign this feature to another key?
It's alt+L for the @ and alt+E for the €.
In the German keyboard layout, the @ and Q share one key, you would press ALT-GR + Q or the equivalent (as far as keycodes go) CTRL + ALT + Q to get an @.
Just press ⌘K it will toggle keyboard.
Press the key on your keyboard that corresponds to the character shown in the Keyboard Viewer, or click keys in the Keyboard Viewer. Press a modifier key, or a combination of modifier keys, to see special characters or symbols you can type. For example, press and hold the Option key or the Option and Shift keys.
Try shift+2
you can also change the keyboard on the simulator to german in the settings and try again. And u can try using the mouse when the keyboard pops up on the simulator.
