In Kubuntu 18.04 Konsole or Kate applications, I cannot get special characters by enter a Unicode, such as 0x1234 to display 'ሴ'. Ctrl + Shift + U combo key does not work on those applications, but it works on gnome-terminal and other gtk3 applications. How can I type such Unicode characters in Kate or Konsole?
I'm trying to make a shortcut to send, for example, the universal quantifier symbol, ∀ (U+2200). Xdotool's own documentation doesn't really explain this.
I have a problem with Autokey: I can't copy-paste through it a special Unicode character. Here is an example:
I am French, and in French writing, you use a space before a semi-colon. But in formal typography, you don't use a regular space before a semi-colon but a ‘narrow no-break space’ which is the Unicode character U+202F.
So when I am writing formal things in French, instead of always wasting time typing CTRL+Shift+U+202F+ENTER+;+space', I would like to use an Autokey new phrase. Using the abbreviation Space+;; (which means, verbally, typing space, then semi-colon twice). Which means when I type (anywhere) space+;;, autokey transforms it into ; (which is a narrow no-break space followed by a semi-colon).
BUT the problem here is this: when I create a new phrase in Autokey with ;, then when I use the abbreviation, Autokey replaces it only with ;, erasing the narrow no-break space. And it appears it does this with any other too-special Unicode character...
Does anyone have an idea of how to get round this issue?
Thanks a million!
How do I make Chromium on Kubuntu render Emoji Unicode characters ?
Like these : ?????❤????
When I double-click to select text in GNOME Terminal, the selection stops at spaces but continues over hyphens:
Some of my filenames contain uncommon characters such as the heavy teardrop-spoked asterisk and are not selectable by double-clicking:
Is there a way to make double-click selection continue over these characters as well?
