How do I type '{' without using the alt key on my keyboard?

A trivial problem, but it costs me nervs...

When replying to posts, I can't get the ' { ' character. I get it by pressing (right Alt+B) usually, but now I get a shortcut for bolding text every time. Any hints?

Then it must be my computer, as always.

Right Alt+B opens the bookmarks for me. :) Usually, it's Ctrl+B that acts as a shortcut for bold text.

Why are you using the alt key at all to type a '{'? It's right on the keyboard, the same key with the square brackets, just to the right of the letter P. Do you use a different keyboard?

I use a diffrerent keyboard. Right to the letter P I have the bracket, but it doesn't work on that key, since it's reserved for one of the diacritics in my language.
