I occasionally speak to my family in spanish, and the keyboard shortcuts (alt+0241 = ñ, alt+0233 = é etc.) don't appear to work in chat windows. As a consequence i have to type the special characters somewhere else, then cut and paste them into gaim. Can anybody tell me a way around this?
I'm running Gaim 2.0.0beta5 under Windows XP
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The alt-#### codes you are talking about are a Windows method for inputting Latin-1 (I believe) characters. gtk+ uses a (what I believe to be an ISO standard) ctrl-shift-#### method. The difference being that Windows uses the decimal numbering for the characters and gtk+ uses hexadecimal numbering. The Windows Character Map shows the Alt-#### code in the bottom right and the Unicode code point (the ctrl-shift-#### code) in the bottom left. So ń is alt-0241 and ctrl-shift-00F1 (or just F1).
