The hot keys "shift+." and "shift+," to make angle brackets do not work for me.

The question is lacking a clear problem. However, I can give you some tips. always hold shift down and then press the angle brackets. This is the same for the curly braces. Also, if you want to move chunks of text over to the right, hold control and then the bracket.

One last thing to check if this is not working is in windows ten setting. under ease of access-keyboard. Under hot key function. there is a setting for one button hot key. you can turn that off if for some reason it is turned on.

I hope this helps

Hey Vladimir, from what I understand the examples here on Treehouse are all taught using a US keyboard layout. If your keyboard is in another format then your shortcuts may vary. I would use a tool like this to determine which layout and localization you have then find which shortcuts you have for angle brackets.

Happy coding!

Vladimir Zhuravlev:

When the instructor tells you to press "Shift +," what he's saying is you need to press the "Shift" key & another key, not the plus sign (+) key itself.

The angle brackets (<>) are between the "m" & "?/" keys on the keyboard. You need to press the "Shift" key & the "<" or ">" keys to type them.

The square brackets ([]) are between the "p" & the "|\" (pipe/backslash) keys. You need to press the "[" or the "]" to type them.

The curly braces ({}) are also between the "p" & the "|\" (pipe/backslash keys. You need to press the "Shift" & the "{" or "}" keys.

Hope that clarifies the solution you need.
