Re: Missing ASCII Palette?

2013-01-14 Thread Lee Hinde
Sooo, I haven't done this in a while, but the other thing the ascii palette
let you do was highlight a character in a document and then see what it
is... Is there an equivalent of that?

 This seems much more convoluted and difficult.

Of course :-)

Select the character(s), and then choose the Character Inspector 
from the Palettes menu, and you'll see the representations of 
the selected character(s) in Hex, Decimal, Escaped, and Unicode formats.

I don't follow how leaving the system character viewer open (once customised) 
and using that is more convoluted than leaving BBEdit's open and using it?
