    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.

    mentioned above?

    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.

    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.
