Question Keyboard Shortcut
Is there a keyboard shortcut to return to your Home Page, other than using the HOME button at the top-left on your keyboard?
My home page is:-

The only home key on my keyboard is on the 6-button section with the insert, delete, end, and page up/down keys. It makes the system carot go the first of a line of text. The only preset shortcut to get to your homepage is alt+home(the one thats a normal key, the one I just described).

Thanks Big-K, I just thought the "Home" key could be used as a fast page up function. I usually use the "House" icon in the tool bar to get to my home page.

Thanks Big-K:
For your step to return to Home Page, i.e; Press ALT+Home.
This is very wierd - - I did this for quite sometime but presently it does not work!
What could have happened. I am wondering if there is some king of problem with my keyboard?
Another keyboard question:-
My keyboard does not have the function or symbol for "cents". Can I somehome insert the symbol for "cents".
By the way, this is a fantastic web site and the quick responses are amazing.
Thanks and many thanks to everyone.

There's some sort of shortcut combo that gives you various symbols depending on the keys pressed, but I forget what the base of it is.

The "cent" sign (¢) can be entered by holding down the Alt key,
and entering (FROM the numeric keypad, that's important) 0162
(the leading 0 is important also) and then letting the Alt key go.

When the Alt key is released you will see the ¢ character.

Hint: you can easily open the "Character Map" in your System Tools, in Accessories; OR just Win+R charmap.

Character Map will show you the keystrokes for many other characters, as well. You can also use it to copy/paste them.

Suggest you get ASCIIcat for all the various keystrokes (and MUCH more).
