By George, I believe you've got it!
KeyFinder produces a complete grid of any font's character set (16 rows x 16 columns = 256 characters).
Clicking on any cell produces the keystroke combination to produce that character in a text. So, eg, the euro sign in Chicago is created by opt+shift+2; apple symbol is opt+shift+K.
That's why it's a gem.
But does it show how to get this char too?
⌘ or all these?
⇧ ⌥ ⎋ And does it tell you which fonts are actually (capable of) displaying them?
I'm not sure where this discussion is going (replacement software?) but I could get ⌘ and âŽ, also ⌫ even ➉ using
PopChar , a very unobtrusive piece of software that has been around on the Mac for close to forever, and is supported on Lion (as well as earlier versions).
