[Zim-wiki] Fwd: Windows 7: Inserting special chars like guillemets/angle quotes with [ALT+NumpadNumber]

John C - sorry for the dupe, forgot reply to all.

-- Forwarded message --

Keybindings are an arcane rabbit-hole, especially cross-platform.

For those on windoze I highly recommend getting into AutoHotKey; in fact
now I'm on Linux I really miss it, wish the Linux version had gained a bit
more traction, one of the VERY few things causes me any nostalgia for
windoze.

2015-01-21 Thread Chris Habasinski 

I use autokey-gtk

It is in the 14.04 repos for Ubuntu - I use elementary freya - works great with 
Zim - is that what you might be looking for on Linux?

Hi Guys,
my laptop dual-boots Arch Linux and Windows 7, but I don't use Windows 
much.  But I tried out [Shift + Alt Gr]<< for « on Windows 7 and it 
didn't work :(.  I knew I preferred Linux but I didn't realise [Shift + 
Alt Gr] was part of the reason.


So I installed /UK International keyboard/ from 
http://www.zolid.com/uk-intl-kb/index.htm and that seems to do the 
trick, using [Alt Gr + [] and [Alt Gr +]] from:




Now I'm heading back to Arch  Linux, and my main desktop PC, as soon as 
possible.

Hope this helps someone.

Hello all,

many thanks for all your hints and ideas. Yep, I'm a Windows guy, and yep, I'm 
using
AutoHotkey every day (and programming with it sometimes - additionally using 
other much
more sophisticated stuff - infos only via PM...).

Using
[Alt Gr + [] and [Alt Gr +]]
is mentioned in the given link
Guillemet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillemet
section
"Typing "«" and "»" on computers"

BUT I'm using a German keyboard...


Many thanks and greetings

Re: [Zim-wiki] Fwd: Windows 7: Inserting special chars like guillemets/angle quotes with [ALT+NumpadNumber]

2015-01-21 Thread Marco Cevoli 
I asked pretty much the same time ago and the answer was to use the HTML
escape codes.
You should type an inverted slash \ followed by the escaped character code,
that is:

& l d q u o ; for inverted commas “
& r a r r ; for a right arrow →
etc.

For French quotes they are:

& r a q u o ;

and

& l a q u o ;

I've added blanks between the letters in order to avoid rendering of the
characters in this very message. You should type the code altogether and
the special character will appear after you type the last character of the
code.

Hi Chris,

I've been following all this with interest.  Thanks to you, I've 
installed autokey-gtk on my Archlinux system.


Now I can use a script like

   keyboard.send_keys("++u2042\n")

to insert an asterism !   ⁂


etc etc
