Re: [Zim-wiki] Fwd: Windows 7: Inserting special chars like guillemets/angle quotes with [ALT+NumpadNumber]
Hi Chris, I've been following all this with interest. Thanks to you, I've installed autokey-gtk on my Archlinux system. Now I can use a script like keyboard.send_keys(ctrl+shift+u2042\n) to insert an asterism ! ⁂ etc etc :-) John On 01/21/2015 09:54 PM, Chris Habasinski wrote: I use autokey-gtk It is in the 14.04 repos for Ubuntu - I use elementary freya - works great with Zim - is that what you might be looking for on Linux?

Re: [Zim-wiki] Fwd: Windows 7: Inserting special chars like guillemets/angle quotes with [ALT+NumpadNumber]
Hello all, many thanks for all your hints and ideas. Yep, I'm a Windows guy, and yep, I'm using AutoHotkey every day (and programming with it sometimes - additionally using other much more sophisticated stuff - infos only via PM...). Using [Alt Gr + [] and [Alt Gr +]] is mentioned in the given link Guillemet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillemet section Typing « and » on computers BUT I'm using a German keyboard... Many thanks and greetings Udo Hi Guys, my laptop dual-boots Arch Linux and Windows 7, but I don't use Windows much. But I tried out [Shift + Alt Gr] for « on Windows 7 and it didn't work :(. I knew I preferred Linux but I didn't realise [Shift + Alt Gr] was part of the reason. So I installed /UK International keyboard/ from http://www.zolid.com/uk-intl-kb/index.htm and that seems to do the trick, using [Alt Gr + [] and [Alt Gr +]] from: Now I'm heading back to Arch Linux, and my main desktop PC, as soon as possible. Hope this helps someone.
