Is there anything like the Alt- > function in Windows? There are some input methods in GNU Emacs, you can hold down AltGr =20 (or such) while pressing other keys =96 and it works to enter C-q =20 . By changing read-quoted-char-radix =20 (this can be done via the customisation interface) to be 16 you can =20 insert any Unicode character by its number. -- Mit friedvollen Gr=FC=DFen Pete Ein Faulpelz ist ein Mensch, der sich nicht die Arbeit macht, sein Nichtstun zu begr=FCnden.
