Three simple ways of typing "dog" on the keyboard,

In this short review article will be given three most simple ways of how to type on the keyboard "dog". Also, based on the simplicity of each of the methods, recommendations will be made regarding their use in practice.

Why is it called that?

In the Russian segment of the Internet, the name "dog" or "dog" is firmly entrenched behind the "@" sign. It is explained quite simply: outwardly this sign strongly resembles the coagulated animal of the same name. Hence its name comes. In Israel, this symbol is called "strudel", but Turkey has a different name - "Rosochka".

When is it necessary?

The sign of "dog" on the keyboard is typed basically in three cases:

• When typing an e-mail box. In it, the name of the mailbox and the mail service must be separated by the symbol "dog".
• When typing a text document, in which, again, the same symbol is found - "@".
• When editing specialized software codes For example, when typing a command file (it has the extension "* .bat"), the "dog" is used to mark the comments.

Basic method

The easiest way to type a "dog" on the keyboard is to use the English layout. This symbol is included in its extended set. In this case, the algorithm for its collection is:

• We switch to English input. This operation can be performed using a special keyboard shortcut or using the language bar. In the first case, the most common combinations are "Alt" + "Shift" or "Ctrl" + "Shift". But the language panel is located on the taskbar in the lower right corner of the screen - to switch it is necessary to enter the pointer of the manipulator, click the left button and in the list choose the same button English language - it corresponds to the abbreviation "En".
• Next, switch to the application, where you need to enter the symbol "@". It must first be started, and then rolled up before searching for the "doggie". We immediately press the "Alt" key and, without releasing it, press "Tab" until the pointer in the appeared window moves to the application we need (for example, in the browser window). Then we hover the mouse pointer over the input field and make a single click with the left button.
• After the flashing pointer appears in the input field, hold down the "Shift" key (you can either left or right) and, without releasing it, press "2" at the top of the symbol keyboard. It also shows the symbol "@". After this, the required symbol should appear in the work area of the open application.

This method is universal and works on all computers running the Windows operating system. Its only drawback is the need to switch to English. If you do not do this, then the quotes will be entered, which are assigned to this key in the Russian keyboard. Therefore, you only need to enter the dog symbol in English.

Use the clipboard

Another way to solve such a problem as typing a "dog" on the keyboard is to use the clipboard. Again, it should be noted that this method works on all PCs with the Windows operating system. Its main drawback is the necessity of having an original symbol. Just get it on a personal computer connected to the global web. But on a single computer this will be very difficult. In this case the procedure for solving this problem is as follows:

• We find the original symbol "@". The most simple way is to do this in the browser. Launch any installed Internet browser and enter "sign dog" in the search box and press "Enter". In the list of answers we find this symbol and select it with the help of the left button of the manipulator.
• In the next step, the selected symbol must be placed on the clipboard. To do this, just press the key combination "Ctrl" and "C". You can also use the right-click menu for this purpose. In the opened list, select the copy item.
• Then go to the application in which you need to insert the symbol "@". If it's a browser, go to its corresponding tab. If this is another application, then switch to it using the taskbar (it must first be started, and then rolled up before the search for "doggie").
• Then you need to click the left mouse button in the input field. After the input cursor appears, press the "Ctrl" and "C" keys. You can also use the context menu, but now you need to use the "Paste" item.

In comparison with the previous method in this case, you need to perform more actions. Another key drawback of this method is the need for an original symbol, which is not available on every PC.

Using code

Another way to put a "dog" on the keyboard is based on the use of ASCII codes. In this case, the order of the set is:

• We make the application input field active with a single click of the left button of the manipulator.
• After the flashing cursor appears, hold down the right "Alt" key and, without releasing it, on the numeric keypad, we successively dial the combination "064".
• Then we release "Alt" - after that "@" should appear.

This method works for any keyboard layout. Its main disadvantage is the need to remember a special code, which is not always possible.

Results

Now we'll figure out how to type the "dog" on the keyboard the easiest. The simplest method of these three is the first. It uses the English keyboard layout (it is on each PC) and is executed with a minimum number of actions. In the second case, the presence of the original sign is necessary, and in the third case, it is necessary to remember a specific digital code (this is not entirely convenient). Therefore, in practice, it is most rational to use the first method.
