Really quick post, yesterday I was looking for apps to generate a picture of whatever was on my iPhone screen and I came across a shortcut.
Hold down the Home Button,
Press the On / Off button on the top of the phone,
The screen will flash white for a moment as it takes the picture.
Check the Photos folder on you phone and your images will be there! Very handy for blog posts, presentations, demos etc.
As if it wasn’t annoying enough that on the Apple Mac Keyboard sometimes the @ sign and ” are sometimes not as displayed on the keys (mine is right in the Mac OS and wrong in my Windows XP environment) but just wait until you write your next Tweet and need to emphasis a word with a hashtag, where is it? this was only brought to my attention in the past week and reminded me that there were a few other characters I have been meaning to find without having to google it and then paste it into my work. Here’s a few useful symbols and characters.
# = Alt + 3
€ = Alt + 2
© = Alt + G
• = Alt + 8
And one just for fun
= Alt + Shift + K
Thanks Nick Buckley for raising the #hashtag issue
