| eisen | alt+numpad |
| Jucato | Alt+numbers |
| annma | where is the setting for that usually in other OS? |
| eisen | it's default |
| Lanken | I thought alt+numpad was just for ascii. |
| wolsni | you hold the alt key down while entering the numbers of the unicode value, then release it when you're done |
| Lanken | how do you do unicode in windows? I could always do en-dash and em-dash with alt0151 and alt0152 |
| annma | wolsni: it works per default that way? |
| eisen | yes |
| Jucato | annma: yep. on windows no special setting needed |
| eisen | don't know about mac, but I believe it's similar there |
| annma | so for example you woul ddo it there in Konvi? ah I don't have a numpad I know why it's not there: all devels have laptops |
| wolsni | hehe |
| Lanken | -__ |
| eisen | it works on laptops as well, you just enable the numpad with the fn combo :P |
| annma | besides for numbers I already have to press shift |
| wolsni | i don't think you have to use the numpad |
| annma | eisen: I have to hold shift |
| Jucato | annma: well it doesn't have to be the numpad. any number input would do |
| annma | azerty, you know |
| Lanken | annma: my D620 could do alt+numpad characters with the Fn key Jucato: are you sure? I think my top numerals didn't work in XP SP2 |
| eisen | I think it's odd that it's not implemented in kde |
| annma | there's no such thing on mine Lanken |
| Lanken | eisen: I agree :\ |
| Jucato | Lanken: hm... iirc only |
| annma | eisen: go ahead and do it |
| Lanken | annma: I'm curious, what OEM and form factor? |
| Jucato | I will have to reboot to check... |
| Lanken | Jucato: don't bother. it's not worth the pain. |
