Symbols > and <

I'd like to use the Spanish keyboard layout only, because I'm tired of ctrl + shift, but my keyboard doesn't have the symbols > and <

The Spanish layout is this, and I have this keyboard. Is there any other way besides unicode to type these symbols?

Really it's hard to use those symbols, because you most active the characters in the panel control in the feature keyboard, there you can configure the options that you need with your keyboard, also it's important that you have correctly installed the keyboard's drivers of your laptop or desktop.

Like Irmamar I'm a bit puzzled by your question - you've got the symbols to the right of the M

Nah, I guess it should be the key left to the Z key.

Strange... that should be the key between "enter" and "ñ". What does that one type?


@Hernán: his keyboard doesn't have a key between "shift" and "z".

Hmm. Your keyboard has one fewer key than mine (although the key you're missing is the one which maps to ç on mine). Do you have multiple Spanish layouts to choose from - e.g. Spanish (Traditional) vs Spanish (Modern)?

Todos los teclados españoles que he visto llevan el botón entre mayúscula (shift) y "z".

Yo creo que si tienes un teclado inglés que ha activado el abecedario español no es possible. Existe una manera para comprobarlos botones de tu teclado.

Start - accessories - ease of access(vista) - on screen keyboard. Después de abrirlo , haz clic "shift" y mira , entonces haz clic "alt" y mira de nuevo

That pretty much covers my answer I think.

Also between ñ and enter are the punctuátion márks

Mm

I'm not all ones.
There're operative keyboards that are used in the operations with servers and distinct computer that have a software different to yours.

Example the system Sun or Solaris, they most to have a keyboard special for those kind systems.

Really I don't believe that he has that kind operative system, I believe that he should to check the configuration of the keyboard the before possible, such I believe that he will can get the words or symbols that he needs in this moments or inclusive he should to take the computer with a IT support in his city.

Interesting conversation....

When I use my Spanish keyboard, the keys next to the M are: , and . (and upper case ; and : )

The key above the ENTER key gives } and ]

The key between ñ and ENTER gives { and [

I have also been confused about how to type an "a" instead of "o" like this: 2°, 3°, etc. because the lowercase of that same key (next to the one) gives this symbol: |

Do you mean "ª", 1ª, 2ª, etc.? I have ª above º (with the shift key).

Yes, those are the letters I'm talking about. But I get the "°" with the shift key. Without the shift key, I get "|"....

How can I use them?

I've a laptop Toshiba with English keyboard but I can set any symbol like yours, then I don't know where I have configure or where I have to push some button where I can get them.

Please notice me that!

I don't know the words in English, only control panel - Configuración regional y de idioma - Idiomas - Configuración (select language) - Configuración de las teclas - Cambiar a X (X = language).

Right - I have that. I can switch back and forth between an English keyboard and a Spanish keyboard, but when I'm "in" Spanish-keyboard "mode", that key next to the 1 gives | and °

Then, try Alt + 166.

And what happens if you press AltGr + that key?
