If I needed to escape a double quote character within a string literal I'd use two consecutive double quotes as follows: Dim name = "Chuck ""Iceman"" Liddell" However, it doesn't seem like consecutive # works the same way.

What programmer-specific function can the old Esc do?
I've recently re-remapped my tilde/backtick to Escape (that's how at least I originally learned) and put the tilde/backtick in the left-Windows key (again how I originally learned).
