keyboard keys definitions
Hi all,
I've searched the forums but seemingly there is no post dealing with that topic.
Computer keyboards have several symbols that I'm not able to name.
Here they are (I try to define roughly some of these symbols on my own....) :
"
'
`
- ('hyphen' or 'dash' ?)
&
~ ('tilde' ?)
_ ('underscore'?)
^
*
/
\
[
{
(
Thank you in advance for your help,
Regards
