My keyboard doesn't have a key for NUL, BEL, VT, EOT. What kind of keyboard do you have which has buttons for these?
- zabzonk 5y agoWith vim at least, you can type them in as control-key sequences (preceded by Ctrl-V).
- wutwutwutwut 5y agoBut then the statement is incorrect. I can write all of Unicode using keyboard sequences as well. People from US seems to have a strong fetishes with ASCII.
- hnfong 5y agoASCII is an abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange after all.
- eterevsky 5y agoLet's not be so pedantic. I meant visible ASCII symbols, character codes 32-126 plus newline.
- wutwutwutwut 5y agoPlease start with not making incorrect statements. If you mean something else than what you write, then write what you mean instead.
