Alt Characters Not Working in AkelPad 4.3.0
I just upgraded from v4.2.6 to v4.3.0.
Before I upgraded, Alt Characters were working.
Immediately after upgrading, I cannot get Alt Characters to work.
For example:
I tried to use Alt + 175 = »
I now have to use Notepad, and copy it to AkelPad.
And suggestions?

Welcome aboard!
Other than that, it should work! Do another post with more details if it does not (Windows version, other applications in background, etc.).
Instructor has informed us that the NumLock must be on. Also, Alt+nnn must be done from the numeric keypad (obvious?); when NumLock is off, the navigation keys are active (Home, End, etc.) so Alt+nnn does not work. I suppose it bears mentioning that Alt+nnn can only represent characters that are available in your current display font - you can use the Character Map (Ctrl+I) to see which characters are available.dypsis wrote:Immediately after upgrading, I cannot get Alt Characters to work.

Yes, I am aware of all the above. I am using the same font. I kept the same AkelPad.ini.Surveyor wrote:Welcome aboard!Instructor has informed us that the NumLock must be on.dypsis wrote:Immediately after upgrading, I cannot get Alt Characters to work.

I have just gone back to v4.2.6, and it is working fine. It is only a problem with v4.3.0.

Character Map
@ Instructor.
Alt + 0187 appears to be the character in the Character Map.
But I cannot add it using the the Alt Codes. In fact, I cannot add any characters using Alt Codes.
But I can add them fine in Notepad and AkelPad v4.2.6.
I am in Australia.
Default Codepage: 1251 (ANSI - Latin 1)
I have tried a few different Ddefault Codepages, without luck.

dypsis,
You might also have a look here, re: trashing current registry settings.
Also, apparently some keyboard drivers may only recognize the left Alt key - try both.
I hope this is a typo - 1251 is Cyrillic on my machine (XP SP2)!dypsis wrote:Default Codepage: 1251 (ANSI - Latin 1)
