I'm -1 on any non-ascii sequences, as this is something that will be
part of the programming API, and should be printable in all contexts.
Multibyte and non-ascii characters are hard to 'type' and often won't
display correctly in many editors or printouts. Indeed some editors
might munge them.
My mail reader (thunderbird on linux) can't display the above code;
it literally shows a box with numbers in it, ie:
__
|23|
|18|
|__|
So far the ascii suggs I've seen are: (!) (|) (~) (%) (&) (+) (?)
(+) is already in use in this context for shift, so can't use that.
BTW, here's the docs we currently have in 1.1.x (1.3.x is similar) for
this use:
http://fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-1.1/Fl_Menu_.html#Fl_Menu_.add
I think Mike's suggestion for (!) is a unix reference, where (!) is a
way
many unix interpreters let you 'run a unix command', so it makes sense
to me.
Was there some kind of visual [or other] mnemonic for (|) or (~) or (?)?
