I have used this on Windows with MetaCard, and tried it out with Revolution on Mac. There is no reason why it should not work in Rev on Windows since Rev is based on MetaCard.> A small instruction textDo you mean that the instructions are like "type 'control+c (pause) ,' "?available on demand on each screen explains how to type, and in my experience they learn it very quickly.
I've tried with a few characters, and whilst they work in Wordpad and put
the appropriate accents onto the letter (e.g. works with ` ^ and the cedilla).
I cannot see that Rev on Win32 (natively) responds to the keyboard combinations
that other apps recognize. Maybe the situation is different on the Mac.
So: As far as accented letters go the instructions to users are (on Windows). Note. The I-beam has to be visible in the field.
Accent aigu: (�) Hold down AltGr and press the accent key. Nothing appears in the field.
Type the letter (in this case 'e'). Both letter and accent appear.
Accent grave (�) Hold down Shift and press the accent key. Nothing appears in the field.
Type the letter (in this case 'e'). Both letter and accent appear.
Umlaut (�) Press the umlaut/circonflexe-key. Nothing appears in the field.
Type the letter (in this case 'a'). Both letter and umlaut appear.
Circonflexe (�) Hold down Shift and press the umlaut/circonflexe-key. Nothing appears in the field.
Type the letter (in this case 'a'). Both letter and umlaut appear.
As regards 'tilde' � or specific letters I have written particular instructions for the students how to find them on our Norwegian keyboard, on Mac there are combinations of control + alt, whereas on Windows they may find them with a numeric key. In this case I would opt for just make them available on the screen and let the user click on it, then your scripting should put them into the field. I can send you a list Monday, have to leave now.
