Dasher is available for operating systems with GTK+ support, i.e. Linux, BSDs and other Unix-like including macOS, Microsoft Windows, Pocket PC, iOS and Android. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Dasher was invented by David J. C. MacKay and developed by David Ward and other members of MacKay's Cambridge research group.
This page lists codes for keyboard characters, the computer code values for common characters, such as the Unicode or HTML entity codes (see below: Table of HTML values"). There are also key chord combinations, such as keying an en dash ('–') by holding ALT+0150 on the numeric keypad of MS Windows computers.
On a computer running the Microsoft Windows operating system, many special characters that have decimal equivalent codepoint numbers below 256 can be typed in by using the keyboard's Alt+decimal equivalent code numbers keys. For example, the character é (Small e with acute accent, HTML entity code é) can be obtained by pressing Alt+1 3 0.
A screenshot of David Lynch Teaches Typing. Asserting he will assist the player as a guide "through the magical world of typing", a likeness of David Lynch instructs the player to input various characters on their keyboard. Following simple prompts to press the F and J keys, Lynch instructs the player to press their finger on the "undulating ...
Keypad used by T9. T9's objective is to make it easier to enter text messages.It allows words to be formed by a single keypress for each letter, which is an improvement over the multi-tap approach used in conventional mobile phone text entry at the time, in which several letters are associated with each key, and selecting one letter often requires multiple keypresses.
Code page 437 (CCSID 437) is the character set of the original IBM PC (personal computer). [2] It is also known as CP437, OEM-US, OEM 437, [3] PC-8, [4] or DOS Latin US. [5] The set includes all printable ASCII characters as well as some accented letters (), Greek letters, icons, and line-drawing symbols.
The amendment 1 of ISO/IEC 9995-2:2009, which was published in 2012, specifies two ways of the emulation of a numeric keypad within the alphanumeric section of a keyboard. One way, with mappings to keys in the left half of the alphanumeric section (shown green in the diagram above), emulates a numeric keypad with the digits 1,2,3 in the upper row.
This did not work for characters not in the Windows Code Page (such as box-drawing characters). The new Alt+0### combination (which prefixes a zero to each Alt code), produces characters from the newer "Windows code pages." [a] For example, Alt+ 0 1 6 3 yields the character £ (symbol for the pound sterling) which is at 163 in CP1252. [2] [b]
