Dear colleagues, I recently switched to OS X and Studio 2014 with Parallels. I still struggling with the keyboard layout. How can I enter non-breaking spaces and en-dashes in Studio on Parallels (preferrably without having to install extra software)? Many thanks in advance, kind regards, Erik | | |
I don't think this question has anything to do with OS X, but I uploaded a file with special characters shortcuts for OS X and Wind, err, that other OS anyway: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2184204/ProZ/Keyboard%20Shortcuts%20for%20special%20characters%20copy.pdf Strangely enough, the OS X shortcu...

Dear Hans, Thanks, but this doesn't seem to work here. I should have mentioned that I'm using an existing keyboard from my PC. I've tried any combinations of special keys (Shift, CTRL, ALT, WINDOWS) and space, but to no avail. Under OS X (e.g. in Open Office), ALT+Space produces a non-breaking space (confirming what you've said). In MS Word (under Parallels), WINDOWS+ALT+Space does the same. In Studio however, none of these work will work. Anything else I might be overlooking? Kind regards, Erik | | |
On my MacBook Air, when working in Studio run in Parallels, the following shortcuts work on a standard keyboard: Shift + Ctrl + space for a non-breaking space and Alt + 0150 for an en-dash Does this work for you? | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » How to enter non-breaking space or en-dash in Studio/Parallels Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
