I was looking for something that would emulate the way that it's done in every piece of software except Rev -- hold down option key and type "u", see floating dots, type "u" and get �mlaut.
I'm curious what our German, French and Portuguese Revers do.. Can you type accents and umlauts into Rev fields? What happens if you use a US keyboard instead of a German/French/Portuguese keyboard, can you still type them?
Hi Frank,
I just discovered something interesting while preparing to answer your questions: If you set your keyboard to "U.S. Extended" (unicode), you get very similar results to Apple Mail, except that, instead of the umlaut being highlighted, it has a heavy underline. Otherwise, using the "U.S.", "British" or "Australian" keyboards (via the Input tab of "International" System Preferences), you can still type "�" in a Rev field (option-u, u); you just don't get any feedback until you type the (second) "u".
And a final question, does anyone know where the floating dots (or floating accent or floating tilda) characters are stored, and how to show them in a Rev field?
Rev doesn't "store" them, AFAIK; it's a system-wide thing. But in any app, you can show a "naked" umlaut by typing option-u, then space, a "naked" acute by typing option-e, then space, etc.
Also, BTW, Jeanne de Voto wrote:
you can get an accent character by itself by pressing the relevant key twice. (For example, to get an umlaut, press option-u option-u.)
This doesn't work for me. Only option-u, [space] .
HTH,
