writing caret
Hi
A thread for a small thing. Maybe I am wrong, but I can't write properly carets (accents circonflexes) with Sigil 0.7 (Linux-64), I mean I don't succeed to put them on top of a vowel like a hat. If it works, looks like it's a different behaviour from Sigil 0.6. Last edited by roger64; 02-20-2013 at 05:00 PM. |

True, it works this way but for a French it's a workaround. It's also a first for me...
![]() I never used this Dialog with all the previous versions of Sigil to write carets. On the French keyboard we have a touch for it. And there is nothing special about "accent circonflexe". Last edited by roger64; 02-20-2013 at 05:49 PM. |

Sigil 0.7, language preferences in Spanish and Spanish keyboard, no problem with the caret.

![]() BTW, I realize it's also the same problem for "trémas" on a French keyboard, that is "umlaut" (?) in English. On my Sigil preferences, I chose French language. There are no particular keyboard preferences I can see. |

Another thing I've done is make a scrap file and have special characters that I know I'm going to use in it. For example, if Nyx �� is going to be kicking around a story (that's �� as in Log Natural �� ), I'm going to have it where I can get to it quickly. Ditto for Nyx ∏. The scrap file is also good for bloopers, outtakes, and stuff so good you want to use it later but don't know exactly where you'll put it. Edit: That was supposed to be an italic e in there. Guess I should run that unicode test card thru the MR board to see what works and what doesn't? /sweatdrop |

This goes for example for UPPER letters like É È À Ç Ù, Æ Œ, carets Â Ê Î Ô Û, or umlauts Ä Ë Ï Ö Ü and their lower brothers (sisters), this time without CAPS LOCK. This is why I would like to be able to use my keyboard with Sigil 07 like with previous Sigils... Last edited by roger64; 02-21-2013 at 03:21 AM. |

This site is extremely helpful for being able to search for all unicode characters. For example, here a list of all characters with "circumflex" in them: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unic...preview=entity And/Or I have tabs open to Wikipedia, which has easy Capital/Lowercase lists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumflex |
