Hi, sorry to ask this newbie question, but…
I use an italian qwerty keyboard, and usually I've no problem in writing “{…}” (shift+altgr+è or +).
In Houdini, however hard I try, I'm not able to write { or } anywhere (parameters, stickies, etc), nor the way I just described nor with ctrl+shift+alt+…, or alt+123 , eg.
What can I do? Thanks for kind help

Hi,

I've experienced similar issues on my mac, using a PC keyboard. The only way around it I've found is to type out your expression in, say, Word, or even in your web browser, and then copy and paste into the parameter. It's not ideal, but it works.

Hopes this helps.

Regards,
Helene

Alas, I already do copy /paste from notebook, but it's boring (and altogether not elegant a solution, if I may say so…). Anyway thanks a lot for your swift reply.

No problem. I agree, as inelegant this solution is, it does work. Hope you find a more permanent solution
