Re: Gtk+2 Textview, (editor) compiled on Windows and 'i' interpreted as 'ctrl+i' (indent)?

Hi

Probably different locales. On linux you probably have an ASCII compatible
character coding or just UTF-8.

Note on windows iso8859-15 is available, at most for old versions.

I assume that you are running a windows codepage like 1252.

Bests,
Joël
