Xcode/Mac: keyboard shortcut to type the "OR" sign "||" (double vertical bar)?

70,322

Solution 1

This site lists the shortcut as Shift+Alt+L if you use a Mac keyboard. But the "pipe" symbol does actually exist on the Mac UK keyboard so can't you just press that key twice?

Solution 2

That did not work for me either. But this one did:

Alt+ 7 with the Alt key on the right side of the keyboard or Ctrl + Alt + 7 with the Alt key on the left side

Solution 3

I have a Macbook with Danish keyboard, and for me I use the Alt+i, to make the | operand.

Solution 4

It is Shift + Alt + "I" for Turkish QWERTY users. Shift + Alt + "L" did not work for me, even with U.S. input source.

Solution 5

On Swedish keyboard this worked for me: Opt + 7

    Each time I have to copy paste "||" from elsewhere when I want to type the double vertical bar of the OR sign.

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to type it?

    On the French Mac keyboard there is no pipe key... and brackets/braces are not even printed on the paren keys... see support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare/images/‌​…

    @neural5torm Have you tried combinations from superuser.com/a/416474/287444 or apple.stackexchange.com/a/17915? I do not have a Mac in front of me so I cannot check

    Oh but your solution does work though, I was merely trying to explain why the OP asked the question in the first place since his profile seems to indicate he is from France (as I am)...

    On a never macbook that will be the option+i combo instead
