Is it possible to type the pound sign (£) on an (American) Kinesis Advantage keyboard?
On the US-International keyboard under Windows, if you have two Alt keys, the right one gets remapped to AltGr. If you don’t, using Ctrl+Alt provides the same functionality - that is, to enter ß, you would use AltGr+s, or Ctrl+Alt+s.
For the pound-sterling sign £, one would type AltGr+Shift+4, or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+4.
Not a Windows person, but knowing that many modern OS’s now accommodate for easier entry of non-common (aka: “International”) characters with (relatively) simple key combinations.
My first suggestion would be to try some of the “usual” alt-character keys (Shift, Alt and Ctrl) mixed with the $ key and see if that produces a £
(pound symbol). Like this first try with the Ctrl key:
Ctrl+$
Or try just the Alt key like this:
Alt+$
Then try adding Shift to the combo like this:
Shift+Ctrl+$
And finally, try adding Alt to the mix like this:
Alt+Shift+Ctrl+$
