Hi all,
I had a small problem with entering some ASCII and Unicode characters
that are not available on the normal keyboard (En-US). Right now I have
to use the character map to get those characters but that makes
it really slow to work with such text.
Is there a simpler, faster way to enter such characters using their ASCII
or Unicode values directly in a text editor (I use gedit/kwrite/kate et al
but
would like to know a universal method, if it exists, that works with all the
editors including the command line ones..).
For example, in Windoze you can enter any ASCII character by holding
down Alt - typing out the ASCII value of that character - then releasing
Alt - the character is inserted at the cursor.
I am currently using Gutsy Gibbon.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards.
