Introduction

Curly braces, also known as curly brackets, are often used in programming languages such as JavaScript and Python. However, sometimes you may find yourself needing to use curly braces outside of a coding context, perhaps in a document or for a special character. If you are a Mac user and wondering how to make curly braces, you're in the right place. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of making curly braces on a Mac.

Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

To make curly braces using keyboard shortcuts on a Mac, follow these simple steps:

  • Place your cursor at the desired location where you want to insert curly braces.
  • Press and hold the Shift key followed by the Option key on your keyboard.
  • While holding down both Shift and Option, press the opening bracket key "{" to create an opening curly brace "{".
  • Similarly, while still holding Shift and Option, press the closing bracket key "}" to create a closing curly brace "}".
  • That's it! You have successfully made curly braces on your Mac using keyboard shortcuts.

Note: The specific location of the bracket keys may vary depending on your keyboard layout.

Method 2: Using Character Viewer

If you prefer using a graphical approach to insert curly braces on your Mac, you can utilize the built-in Character Viewer utility. Follow these steps:

  • Click on the Apple menu at the top-left corner of your screen.
  • Select "System Preferences" from the dropdown menu.
  • In the System Preferences window, click on "Keyboard".
  • Switch to the "Keyboard" tab and check the box that says "Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar".
  • Close the System Preferences window.
  • Now, click on the icon in your menu bar that looks like a square with a checkmark inside it - this is the Character Viewer icon.
  • In the Character Viewer window, click on the "Punctuation" category in the left sidebar.
  • Scroll down until you find the curly braces "{" and "}".
  • Double-click on each curly brace to insert them at your desired location.

Using the Character Viewer, you can also search for the keyword "braces" in the search bar to quickly find and insert curly braces.

Being able to create curly braces on your Mac is essential whether you're working on a programming project or simply need them for a specific purpose. In this guide, we explored two easy methods to make curly braces - using keyboard shortcuts and through the Character Viewer utility. Feel free to choose the method that suits you best.
