title: How to type the Hash Key?
body: <p>I've just started programming in <code>R</code> and have discovered you make comments by using <code>#</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I've never been too concerned with this key as I normally program using <code>Matlab</code> or <code>C++</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Windows 8 on a Macbook Pro so the keyboard doesn't have a designated <code>#</code> key and the shortcut for an apple keyboard for the <code>#</code> key (which is <code>alt+3</code>) doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>I haven't been about to find a solution for this. Thanks.</p>
