For those that remember entering decimal ascii codes on the number pad in Windows, this is the new and improved version of that. Ctrl-Shift-u switches to Unicode entry mode where you can enter the hex code of a Unicode character. You don't need the leading zero. Pressing enter or space completes it or ESC cancels it. I don't know which software level handles it, maybe it's a GTK thing. You can look up the hex codes using the Character Map application. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@lists.fedoraproject.org

Just a test to see if I configured Knode correctly, but might as well make it worthwhile ;-) I'm very pleased with the release so far and have run into no problems (exception: TPM on laptop, but that's something for bugzilla). -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
