To type the "@" symbol on a laptop, the most common method is:
- Hold down the Shift key and press the number 2 key on your keyboard. This works on most Windows laptops with an English keyboard layout
If this does not work, it may depend on your keyboard layout or language settings. Here are some alternatives for different cases:
- On a Windows laptop with a numeric keypad, press Ctrl + Alt + 2 or hold Alt and type 64 on the numeric keypad
- On UK English keyboards, press Shift + ` (the key next to number 1)
- On some international keyboards, use Alt Gr + Q or Alt Gr + 2 depending on the language
- On a Mac, press Option + 2 (English keyboard) or Alt + 2 (Spanish keyboard)
If your keyboard does not have a numeric keypad or these shortcuts don't work, you can also use the On-Screen Keyboard feature in Windows:
- Go to Start > Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard, and turn on the On-Screen Keyboard. Then click the "@" symbol on the virtual keyboard
In summary, the most universal way is Shift + 2 on Windows laptops with English keyboards, but other layouts may require different key combinations
