Occasionally I find the need to include an ellipsis in my writing. I could just use three periods, but that's bad typography. Is there a way to insert … just using the keyboard? Similar to how you can insert — by holding down Alt and pressing 0150 on the numberpad. Is there a similar combination for inserting an ellipsis?

In Windows it's alt+0133 on the numberpad.

1@Screenack, on many laptops there is a special key that makes a part of the keyboard act as a numberpad.– hagelloOct 22, 2020 at 7:21
Microsoft Office applications (Word, Outlook, Excel, etc.) accept the following shortcut:
Ctrl+Alt+.
