interesting ! On my Linux (Ubuntu 6.10) machine, Alt Gr + c = Alt Gr + Shift
+ c → (c). To obtain ¢ I have to perform the more complicated Ctrl + Shift + u, then the hexcode 00a2 (0a2 works equally well), then space-bar procedure.... Henri
I have to say I admire your legerdemain. There is no way my fingers can achieve Ctrl+Shift+u with one hand while typing 0a2 with the other. On my Win XP Pro system the things you mention with Alt Gr work if I use the "US International" keyboard software but *mot* if I use my standard UK keyboard setup. Windows has a facility wehreby I can toggle between different languages and/or different keyboards. My problem is that the physical keys are laid out for the UK so if I want to use the Alt Gr trick with the US International keyboard software then many important keys (I nearly said key keys) get transposed and I get confused. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
