Archangel Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 For some reason Affinity has stopped allowing me to enter the copyright symbol using Alt 0169 on the number pad. It was because Numlock was turned off. GDPR-415734 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangel Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Yes. InterestinglyLibre office worked with NumLock on and off. The glyph browser showed codes in hexadecimal with NumLock off. I figure I've just discovered a feature that I didn't know about before. Maybe NumLock off requires hexadecimal input rather than decimal?

Archangel Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Neither have I. I don't know why Affinity behaves this way. You can't enter hex with numlock off so scrap that theory. You jjust must have numlock switched on to enter special characters via keyboard. Affinity Photo should have an insert © option from the menu. Affinity Designer too. Under Insert Character woul be a good addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 It's easily found via the Glyph Browser studio panel, especially using the Search field.

Annabella_K Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hehe, I wouldn't even think of trying this with num lock off, without that those keys are not numbers, but the home, page up... plus the arrows. This never made sense to me, why repeat those keys, but that's what is printed on my keyboard. So maybe that's why it doesn't work, Affinity simply sees them as those keys. It's interesting, that LibreOffice handles it differently, good to know. 😃 I agree, it would make sense to add it to the Insert Character menu.
