IDE: Every time I enter ¡ the | goes to the end of the line

Post by Trond »

When I try to enter a ¡ or ¿ using Alt+0161/Alt+0191 the cursor goes to the end of the line! Quite annoying.

For what it's worth: I can't reproduce that here.
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

Does the character appear? This does not happen with NumLock enabled but then there is annoying blue light and I can't type the characters anyways. I am using a laptop keyboard, by the way.

I was trying with NumLock on, yes, which is why it worked for me.

To quote the help file for "Character Map" (bold emphasis is mine):

[...] open the document and position the insertion point where you want the
special character to appear. Then, with NUM LOCK on, hold down the ALT
key while using the number pad keys to type the Unicode character value.


So there you have it. Without NumLock on you can't type ALT+0161 etc.

That's weird, I have triple checked it now and if NumLock is enabled, then no character appears. When NumLock is disabled I can do Alt+0191 and so on.

So you're saying it's doing the OPPOSITE of the Windows help file? Very weird.

FWIW, every so often over the last couple of days my CAPSLOCK key has reversed itself. Suddenly I was typing in caps. When tapping the CAPSLOCK key the CAPSLOCK light went on and everything acted as though it hadn't (lowercase default). It just toggled itself. Tapping the key again turned off the light and turned on the caps.

A reboot sorts it.

This appears to have started since the last auto-update for windows on XP-pro. At least that is the only thing I can think of that may have an impact, outside of some spec of dust or something inside the keyboard itself.

No NUMLOCK issues here, but maybe something similar?

Yes, and I confirm that it's doing the opposite of the Norwegian Windows help file as well.
