Re: At+Keycode (was Re: 'Dia' Question)

Oddly, it is working now. ÂIt only shows after I let up the ctrl-shift, maybe I was holding it down assuming I would see the symbol right away.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Hans,

Just starting out, trying to get the trademarkR. ÂI hold down the Ctrl-Shft and then type UAE, but I get aÂweirdÂbox with little circles.

Ctrl-Shft never gets me anything useful Âthat I can see.

What am I doing wrong ? Â I tried with and without caps lock set. ÂI tried them as a sequence, I tried the hold down and type method.

I am using Win 7. Dia ver 0.97.2

Any help is appreciated.

Mike

It's Gtk+ which does not support it. See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148386#c14

for the discussion. Basically Âthe Windows specific Alt+### is superseeded by Ctrl+Shift+Uxxx - with xxx being the hexadecimal unicode. It works directly on canvas and in edit controls. Use e.g. Ctrl+Shift+UAE for the registered trademark sign. Ctrl+Shift+U80 for  and Ctrl+Shift+U81 for  can not currently test due to lack of numeric keypad.
