How do you type the vertical line ( | ) in CE on a Mac?

Question

Across the Mac system, the vertical line ( | ) is evoked by "Alt i", but this doesn't work in CE. This is quite annoying as the "|" is used all the time when scripting.

Is this a bug?

Is there a workaround?

Best,

Nic

Hmm… it obviously varies with your local keyboard layout. On my DK keyboard (on the Mac) the "|" is mapped on alt-i by default. CE overrides this combination with "Show Inspector". Changing the binding for this command in Inspector > General > Keys frees the combination and the "|" can be evoked again… what a relief – phew!

I should have figured this out
