I have a UK keyboard on a mac, to get the hash key, its option 3, however, it doesn’t work in flame, I just get a 3, anyone know a workaround? ---

I expect that the hash is better in the US. Maybe there is an option in the Keyboard prefs in flame to change a layout from US to UK? ---

Flame only works properly when the OS Keyboard is set to US English. ---

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this out. ---

If you are using it in the type tool, you can probably find it buried in the on-screen keyboard. ---

It was to edit a token, now sorted. I swapped out the keyboard ---

In case anyone else ever has this issue, I’ve found using [Karabiner](https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/) for Macos is super helpful in resolving keyboard/Flame issues. ---

Whenever I launch Flame, Karabiner remaps my keyboard to match Linux, so I don’t trip over muscle memory when bouncing between Mac and Linux versions of Flame. ![serious tokyo ghoul GIF by Funimation](https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY3ODA0YTliNzBzaHg3NHp6ZHYzN2licmlrYW5pdWhxMjJicTU2cjlva2d4OXl1NSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/25RLdGV4YlQ69BalEN/giphy.webp)
