What's supposed to "work"? Do you want to type out that exact symbol in geany's editor? I'm not aware of any way to type out this symbol in a non-terminal editor. And even though that should be possible in a terminal, I did not succeed. You can copy-paste it though. FWIW, it's this: "" - you can't see it but it's there between the quotes (unless it got lost in transit). You can recreate escape sequences with various shell commands: tput ... echo -e printf e.g. echo -e '\e' > file Then open file in geany. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@lists.geany.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.geany.org
