Keyboard Shortcuts For Greater Than/Less Than or Equal To

Sep 27, 2019

Hello!

Does anyone know where I can get a list of keyboard shortcuts for mathematical and scientific symbols that can be created in Storyline?

For example, Alt+0176 creates the ° symbol in Storyline, but Alt+8805 doesn't work for the greater than or equal symbol; I get the letter "e" instead! I've used the shorthand version (>=13), but that's not going to work for me anymore. 

Thanks for any help!

Hi Heather

not sure whether this helps 

You need to have the font set to Symbol when using the code however SL is not returning the correct symbols when the codes Alt+8804 or Alt+8805 are entered

Greater than is highlighted but is registering in description as something else.  I've even tried all the subsets and none are working to return the correct symbol using codes, but if you click the symbol the greater than displays

Hi Kat! Are you working with Rise on a PC?   Depending on what symbol you're looking for, I have also found it works to hold down the Windows key, then press the period key.  This opens up the emoji keyboard on Windows-based computers, and the third tab in on the emoji keyboard has symbols.

Ew, no. Don't do that. you want/need the HTML short cut Alt+242
