  1. Statut de the Real Duck-Coy (acdw@writing.exchange) sur Tuesday, 06-Oct-2020 14:02:12 CEST the Real Duck-Coy the Real Duck-Coy

    Do y'all know the best way to input accented characters on Windows 10 where I don't, so far as I can tell, have the option to change input method?

      @Sandra oh yes the impossible to remember numpad codes. Windows has always been a paragon of usability!

      That's a great trip for emacs, thanks ! I did not know it could do that.

      @acdw I haven’t used windows since Windows 98 but it used to be that you held down alt and used numpad. What I used to do is to get a couple and keep them near the end of the text and paste them in, it sucked, so glad I’m I have a compose key now like God intended.

      Genesis 11:1-9, Acts 2:4, Quran 30:22, Tao Te Ching chapter 27, DEC EK-VT220-TM-001 page 2-5 and 2-8. The gist is pretty much “use a compose key ya primitive screwheads” but phrased much more poetically “A good speaker is without flaw” etc♥

      Also in #Emacs you can use input methods even without a compose key. M-x toggle-input-method I like the various -postfix methods like german-postfix and similar. You just write “Gruenfeld Defence” and it comes out as “Grünfeld Defence”♥

      @acdw Anyway what I meant by

      held down alt and used numpad

      is that you type in like Alt+0252 and out comes ü. It’s called alt codes and you can find lists of them online. With compose instead it’s Compose+u" or Compose+"u and out comes ü

      @kensanata I think I tried? And wasn't able to. I'll try again today, thanks!

      Also it might not have been WinCompose, also I might've been dreaming, who knows?
