6.10.3 The ASCII table

The tools menu provides also an ASCII table ("Tools|Ascii table"), The ASCII table can be used to look up ASCII codes as well as inserting characters into the window which was active when invoking the table. To get the ASCII code of a char move the cursor on this char or click with the mouse on it. To insert a char into an editor window either:

1. using the mouse, double click it,
2. using the keyboard, press Enter while the cursor is on it.

This is especially useful for pasting graphical characters in a constant string.

The ASCII table remains active till another window is explicitly activated, thus multiple characters can be inserted at once. The ASCII table is shown in gure (6.18).
