☻☻hmm, ☻When I hit Alt 258, I get a little black smiley!

Oh, I see, 248! my error! °. I like it!

The short cut on OSX is shift+option+8

Opt+k works too… I think it is the opt key.

on my mac laptop its just alt numeric 2 (k) ˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚˚

meh, I just multiply by pi/180 and express my mash temps in radians.

Hold down b on a newer Android phone. Don't remember what it is pre-2.0

I have a different shortcut. I don't down the alt key, then I press the letters d,e,g,r,e,e, and s.

I type "F". As in 152F. Or 152˚. Hey, I did it!

I'm using my PC at work. The upper numbers didn't work (just below the "F" keys), but the number pad on the right worked perfectly.

Here is a way that will work regardless of what you are posting from. The HTML symbol for ° is: °

We talk a lot about temps on this forum and just thought I would mention the keyboard short cut for ° is hold the alt key, then type 2, 4, 8 on the number pad.

I didn't search, so if this has been mentioned a million times before I apologize!

I don't know if it's been mentioned or not, but on a mac it's shift - option - 8.

OOps! already been said.

I use this function multiple times everyday.

I just wanted to add my most recent discovery. The lab engineer I work with taught me this.

I work with Excel a lot making graphs from data. I often have to draw a straight line across some data to show something. I've always done this by hand, until I was informed that:

Pressing the shift key while you are still drawing the line will produce a straight line

I love it! I am a dork!
