HOW TO TYPE CARET SYMBOL DRIVER

The keyboard driver for a certain locale translates them (under Windows) into virtual key codes.

On all PC keyboards world wide, no matter of which locale, keys have the same scan codes depending on their physical position on the keyboard. But it may be that the shortcut-implementation in NPP is incompatible with the special-^ key on a German, , itвЂ™s the old new thing about keyboard layouts. Maybe if you found a utility that shows you the keycode of your keystroke (I know such exist I donвЂ™t have one to recommend off the top of my head), you can see what keycode is sentвЂ¦ then maybe try to edit the shortcuts.xml to use that keycode instead of the вЂњ54вЂќ ( 6) or вЂњ94вЂќ ( ^).

HOW TO TYPE CARET SYMBOL CODE

However, based on the way that it shows up in NPP shortcuts.xml, and my smattering of knowledge about keycodes vs characters, etcвЂ¦ I am guessing that the German layout has some special keycode for the fancy-^ key, which doesnвЂ™t line up with the ASCII code for ^. Well NetBeans may have implemented it in a very different way (I donвЂ™t know, because I donвЂ™t know the guts-details in NPP, and know nothing about the NetBeans). Glad I included вЂњon a standard US keyboardвЂќ. I just вЂњdiscoveredвЂќ that this key seems to be the вЂњbacktickвЂќ (or backquote) key on the US/UK keyboard !Д«utвЂ¦ unfortunately this key also isnвЂ™t in the list of usagle keys in NPPвЂ¦ :-( The character only shows up when you press it twice, or an other вЂњsecondвЂќ key with a character which is not вЂњcoompatibleвЂќ with ^.ДЄlso, as this is working like a charm in NetBeans, it cannot be a general issue. It is used for ^ and with Shift: В°ДЄnyway, this key is вЂњweirdвЂќ too, as nothing happens when you press it once, as it вЂњmayвЂќ belong to the following character: a,e,i,o,u: Гў,ГЄ,Г®,Гґ,Г». The caret key is the key between ESC and TAB. I did not expect that it could be important to know what keyboard I am usingвЂ¦ :-) Unfortunately Ctrl-^ still does what it did before: something like Ctrl-Right, but in a different way. When I set the shortcut to Ctrl-6 or Ctrl-Shift-6 (via Settings > Shortcut Mapper) NPP did вЂњexactly what I expectedвЂќ - it jumps between the matching braces as soon as I press Ctrl-6 or Ctrl-Shift-6вЂ¦ But I find it easier to change in the Shortcut Mapper)Д®dit: or, as posted while I was typing this, you could just use the Ctrl+6, if you donвЂ™t want to hit the extra shift key I donвЂ™t know which you would prefer. (Remember that if you edit shortcuts.xml in Notepad++, you must not have changed any settings in the current session the best advice is close all Notepad++ instances, open Notepad++ and edit shortcuts.xml save and exit Notepad++ reload, and the change should take effect. That, you can easily map in the Shortcut Mapper, or by the following line in your shortcuts.xml: So if you want the keystroke to be Ctrl+^, thatвЂ™s the same as Ctrl+Shift+6. I believe this is because ^ isnвЂ™t a separate key (on a standard US keyboard): itвЂ™s the Shift+6 key (US). When I tried to set a shortcut using the Settings > Shortcut Mapper, the ^ caret key doesnвЂ™t even show up. Is there any possibility to get this realized ? Unfortunately it does not work this way and when looking at the current shortcut config within NPP it shows вЂњCtrl+unlistedвЂќ / вЂњconfict foundвЂќ. (Function is 'Search for corresponding bracket, originally Ctrl-b)ДЄs 49 is the decimal ASCII code of вЂњ1вЂќ, I tried to tamper the file and changes 49 to 94, the ASCII code of ^. Then I had a look into вЂњshortcuts.xmlвЂќ and I found the definition: I tried to find out how shurtcuts are stored and tried another combination: Ctrl - 1 (after removing this from another function). When trying to assign a new shorcut to this function (Shortcut id=вЂњ43009вЂќ), I realized that this character is not included in the list of available keysвЂ¦ДЄs this key seems to be вЂњnot user-assignableвЂќ, it looks it is вЂњinternally hard codedвЂќ ?

Interestingly, Ctrl-^ in NPP does вЂњanythingвЂќ, something like Ctrl-Right, but in a different way. IвЂ™m using the shortcut Ctrl-^ in NetBeans to вЂњgo to matching braceвЂќ and want to have identical shortcuts. I want to use the caret key (^), also known as circumflex, for a shortcut.
