Can anyone tell me how to get a Hash symbol with Beta 3 on a UK keyboard (which would be alt+3 on the Mac side).

Also I use Visual Web Developer 2005, whilst using Beta 2 I could use alt+Right Arrow for code completion, in Beta 3 this does not seem to work and in fact after pressing this key combination strange things happen like further keypresses are either ignored or open menu items.

Thanks

Yes please, I'd like to know too.

Windows XP on the remote PC behaves as if the Alt key is held down
continuously after the option+3 combination on the Mac.   Double
clicking on an icon on the desktop brings up the properties window for
that object.

For UK keyboards try setting your keyboard layouts on both Mac and PC to
U.S. This works for me, # can then be accessed by Shift+3. This also stops
the Shift+Arrow madness and sticky Alt key problems

Hope that helps
