[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 child) Why is there no 1 key on that typewriter? permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] zloubida@sh.itjust.works [S] 2 points 11 months ago* It's a quite common thing, especially on older machines. There's often no zero, and no exclamation mark too: the goal is to have more room for other signs, make the machine less heavy and less costly. To type a 1 on a machine like that, just type a minuscule “L” (I bought my machine in 202l is almost indistinguishable from I bought my machine in 2021 on a typewriter). For zero, just type a capital O, and for exclamation mark, a point, a backspace and an apostrophe. permalink fedilink source parent
