How do I use ASCII characters on a Lenovo x1 Carbon?

Since that laptop does not have a numpad, it is a better option to copy and paste your ASCII characters.

Maybe you should check your settings. You can most likely get there through the menu. See if there are settings for "keyboard" or something similair.

Question

How do I type the @ symbol on my Lenovo Thinkpad?

Community Answer

Use Shift+2, or otherwise Shift+' (apostrophe). These are just the 2 major ones, however. If yours differ, search up the keyboard layout.

Use shift keys in the keyboard to enter upper characters on the keys like 1, 2, 3, 4, down to 0 (numbers in the alphabet keys area) to enter the characters like #,% or =.

Question

I cant type numbers except 5 and 6. I try different ways to fix it up but I have still this problem. Lenovo ThinkPad.

Community Answer

You can use number keys other than numbers in your number pad. If you cannot type the numbers on your keyboard, use an external keyboard like wired or Bluetooth keyboards.
