I use N++ to edit my Pascal files, so I am modifying the source file, and alt\tabbing to Borland Pascal 7.0 to test the program. Every once in a while, after I alt/tab back to N++, when I type something, some strange characters appear instead of normal ones. See on this picture: http://ferrari599gtb.t35.com/npperr.JPG
The 2nd and 3rd lines were produced when I typed qwerty, I don't remember the other ones. I restart N++ and the typing is back to normal.
I really love N++ mainly because of the syntax highlighting but this thing is a little annoying.
Anyone else had the same problem?

It seems I know why it happens :-) And it seems you forgot to write that you have pessed F9 or Alt+F9 in Notepad++. In Notepad++'s main menu, select this: Plugins -> ConvertExt... and you'll see these two menu items:
+Symbols: eng/user_1 F9
+Symbols: eng/user_2 Alt+F9
By default, F9 lets you type cyrillic characters in accordance with russian keyboard layout, and Alt+F9 - with ukrainian keyboard layout. You can find these symbols inside "ConvertExt.lng" file in your Notepad++'s folder.
If you don't need the functionality of this plugin, you can simply remove ConvertExt.dll from your Notepad++'s plugins subfolder.

It happened again. I was doing the same thing, alt-tabbing from borland pascal 7.0. Any ideas why it messes up the keyboard?

Yeah, you're right!
F9 is the key which I have to press to compile in Borland Pascal 7 and by mistake I pressed it while in NPP!
I changed the shortcut to something different, so I can press F9 all I want :D
Thanks very much! I never thought about this! :)
