International Character input (at least Baltic Encoding)
Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, 25 March, 2005 - 18:27
I just thought it might help somebody. I have Mepis3.3 installed on my IBM Laptop and under windows i was used to jEdit, so after switching to Linux i of course installed jEdit too, but my my - though the keyboard layouts work just fine in any other program it wouldn't in jEdit - it just prints absolutely wrong characters (no matter what encoding is set default). I found a workaround to this:
First of all you need Character Map plugin installed.
So how do we get the character - using kde (3.3.2) Alt+Character does the trick, but not in Java apps.
Do this:
Start Macros Recording > type the Alt+Character (it gives you the usual stoooopid none-needs-it character) > Stop Recording (it switches you to Macros editing) > select the wrong character > open Character Map plugin - type the correct one > save the macros > open Global Options Shortcuts > Macros > find the macros you just created and assign it the hot key Alt+Character .
Vuala ! Thus you have what you needed in the first place Smiling Of course, it will take some time to make all the needed macros, but if you love jEdit as i do you will find it a peace of cake Eye-wink

And now for those of you who know the proper way to correct this - start talking ! Laughing out loud
