How do you make neat shapes like flowers on the keyboard?
As for making shapes on the keyboard for a normal computer all you have to do is hold the Alt key and hit the numeric pad numbers.

The laptop is a bit trickier for the fact that it takes more time to work with.
Though not all laptops are made like this there is normally a button somewhere on the keyboard that says the letters Fn. While holding that key, hold down Alt as well. Now after that in the letter areas of J-U-I-O-K-L-M there are small numbers on those keys. By pressing one of these numbers you get a symbol.

= 1
= 2
= 3
= 5
= 6
= 8
= 9
= 10
= 11
= 12
= 13
= 15
= 16
= 18
= 19
= 20
= (i just kept hitting 1 and 2) :p
And simply continue on from there with number combinations.
