Hi,
How do I type ascii characters on my terminal (besides running the cygutils
ascii program and doing a cut-and-paste of the corresponding ascii
character)?
I used to be able to do <ALT> + <ASCII_CODE> combinations on old windows
systems. However, the oldest Windows I got now is 2k and XP.
Doing the <ALT> + <ASCII_CODE> combination works on notepad and other
applications except on the cmd.exe window. (FWIW, The reason why it does
not work with cmd.exe is because I've got a Japan locale and Japanese
language and regional settings but I don't care about cmd.exe since I don't
use it.)
CMIIW but I can't seem to see references on this problem on the archives.
There are references in other mailing lists but they don't work. One said
I had to use the "Terminal" font but that didn't work. The other talked
about UTF-8 mounting and running a UTF-8 patched cygwin but I don't want to
do that since I simply want to type using accented/umlauted letters without
any fuss.
Thanks so much!
Best Regards,
Carlo
