Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: accented characters in NB 16 IDE editor

Hi,

the Microsoft "recommendations" only work for MS Word or LibreOffice


For other programs you have to use Arnaud's method:


   There is no compose character on Windows.
   If you want a character not available in your keyborad layout, you
   should:
   - use character map
   - or keep Alt key down and press the character code (avalaible in
   character map): for example É (upper e accute) Alt+0201

Helmut

Make sure that NumLock is on before entering Alt+nnn (from numeric keyboard !)

Yes, thanks, I have tried the Microsoft recommendations. They don't work in the NetBeans 16 IDE editor. This message did not originate from SUNY Potsdam or one of its trusted senders. Do not open attachments, click on links, or provide your credentials if the source is suspicious.

        I don't use windows but believe it should be similar but with
        CTRL. Try pressing CTRL+`, release, then the key for the
        accent (e, u, a, ...)

            Hello,

            I just switched from linux to windows 10, with Netbeans 16
            installed. I need to be able to type accented characters
            in the editor (java) - characters that survive being saved
            in files. In the linux version, it was a matter of holding
            AltGr and a key representing the desired accent, releasing
            those keys, and then typing a letter. I can't seem to find
            mention of this function online in stackoverflow etc., and
            the netbeans mailing list search gave no results (although
            I could be using it incorrectly.)

            Thanks.
