3 Keyboard Shortcuts to Geek Your Journaling

Hi ,

Here in northern Indiana, the garage sale season has officially started. I’m stoked.

Not only do I love a bargain, I love to peek into the world of my geographical neighbors. Some surprise me at how symbol savvy they are.

For example, check out this little 10¢ tag. If you were typing up garage sale tags or signs, would you know where to find the cent symbol on your keyboard?

The thing is, it’s not there. You just have to know the shortcut in order to find it. Here’s a quick list of keyboard shortcuts to help you geek your journaling (and garage sale signs).

Cents

To get a cent symbol, the keyboard shortcut is logical and therefore easier to remember. Press Alt or Opt and the $ key (number 4). It’s logical because cents could easily be seen as the alternate of dollars.

Degrees

Saying 45 degrees is not nearly as geeky and cool (pun intended) as saying 45˚, right? To get the degree symbol, press Alt K (Mac: Opt K). Where’s the logic in that? Let me know if you figure it out! On a Mac you can also press Opt Shift + the Asterisk key, which is maybe a little more closely connected.

Bullets

Bullets help to keep your journaling organized and easier to read. Press Alt Asterisk (Mac: Opt Asterisk) to get one pretty bullet point (•). Because Photoshop and Photoshop Elements is not a word processing program, this shortcut will not create a bulleted list.

BTW, not all fonts on your computer will have these symbols available. For guaranteed success, stick with basic fonts like Myriad Pro.

So, now that you are savvier on your symbols, take another sip of cuppa and browse the rest of the goodies below. Have a great week.
