tl;dr: Please re-establish the support of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes]C0 control characters[/url] in the ASCII table.
If I recall correctly, until version 4 we had the possibility to select characters with lower value than 0x20 (space) in the ASCII table. That's been quite handy for the following reasons: - I prefer to have spaces for code indentation. For that reason my configuration of the tab-key behavior is to write 2 spaces instead of a tab character. This makes it kind of impossible to write a tab character in text without the opportunity to select a tab (0x09) in the ASCII table. - Command-line interface (such like the Windows 10 console host and Virtual Terminal emulators) support Virtual Terminal sequences (a.k.a. ANSI escape sequences). They do usually begin with an ESC (0x1b) character. Also other low order ASCII characters like BEL (0x07) are frequently used. As to my understanding, PSPad does not provide any possibility to get and insert such characters anymore. Thanks!
