[cptsideways]

I'm completely flummoxed on this, googling has'nt helped either!

Just above the right shift button.

I'm presuming you mean?

(btw plain hash on this forum starts a numbered list.)

Alt-3 as far as I remember.. (don't have it with me right now, or I'd check)

Also just for clarity - its is just a "hash". A hashtag is a hash with a tag word next to it, used in twitter etc, e.g. #keyboardgoo

North America # is called a pound sign,
Do north american macs show # on the 3 key and have £ on the alt function?
