Hi,
In the terminal Xterm one can produce special characters by pressing Alt + key
such as
Alt 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = \ q gives
� � � � � � � � � � � � �
and many more.
This can only be done with xterm and not in any other terminal, various
editors or word processors.
Why is that? Would it not be useful to have this feature at least in some
editors?
To produce those characters outside xterm one has to either find a character
picker or switch to other keyboards such as French or German which I have
programmed to do with just one click.
Regards
