here it goes,i use dev-c++ primarily for educational purposes and one thing
about editor really frustrates me. when i press combination alt+"," (which is
combination for the "<" sign) i don't get the "<" sign written but whole line
commented? is there a way to fix this keyboard shortcut? thnx
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
What is your keyboard locale? On a UK and US keyboard < is Shift + ','
In fact invariably in Windows, the ALT key activates the menu, so it would be
unusual to use an ALT + ... combination. I no longer use Dev-C++ (since there
are far better alternatives), so I cannot check your observation.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Can you post a link to an image of your keyboard layout? Because I am looking
at this and the < key is right next to the
left hand shift key. Do you have the correct Windows locale and keyboard
settings?
Does this only happen in Dev-C++? I recall problems regarding Croation
keyboards in Dev-C++ before, and there was no good solution.
However here are two work-arounds that will work regardless:
1) Set Num-Lock on, hold down the ALT key, and type 60 on the numeric keypad
(not the top row numbers), release the ALT key. The character for ASCII 60dec
(<) will appear. This works for any character code, use an ASCII table to find
teh ones you need.
2) Using a different editor such as Notepad, enter all the characters you
can't get in Dev-C++ and save this file. When using Dev-C++, have this file
open and when you need a character, copy & paste it.
If it is just Dev-C++ giving you this problem, I'd suggest you use use a
different compiler/IDE altogether. I suggest the free VC++
Express. This problem win very
unlikely to be fixed in Dev-C++ ... ever.

Hi if you want to keyboard shortcut so press F1 then choose (Use Tools to
view your computer information and diagnose problems ) this option then you
will click windows keyboard shortcut overview then you will see all
keyboard shortcut
i hope you will do this.
You can also get some info on "digraphs" and "trigraphs". That was C/C++
original solution to users with international keyboard layouts. If you use
them I think you also have to complie with a switch like "-digraphs" or
something similar. I have not used it. Just passing on some info.

mentioned above?

and yeah,this happens only in dev-c++. in notepad++ f.e. works normal :-/
I'll try VC++, thnx mate! :)
