Subject: Special Characters in Xterm Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2004 11:08:05 +0800 Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <20040601030805.2B2EF2A1AA@heisspf> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org Hi, In the terminal Xterm one can produce special characters by pressing Al= t + key=20 such as Alt 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =3D \ q gives =B1 =B2 =B3 =B5 =B6 =B7 =B8 =B9 =B0 =AD =BD =DC =F1 and many more. This can only be done with xterm and not in any other terminal, various= =20 editors or word processors. Why is that? Would it not be useful to have this feature at least in so= me=20 editors? To produce those characters outside xterm one has to either find a char= acter=20 picker or switch to other keyboards such as French or German which I ha= ve=20 programmed to do with just one click.
