Line 7: == Usage == When you hold down the ''Alt'' key and type a number on the numeric pad on the keyboard, a character appears, see [[Windows Alt keycodes]]. [[Num lock]] must be turned on to prevent the cursor actions happening in addition ~~tot~~to hethe alt-keycode character. Note that this only works with a selection of Microsoft software. A variant of alt codes are alt-X codes. Unlike alt codes, which require a decimal code point, Alt-X codes work with [[hexadecimal]] numbers. After you type in the hexadecimal value for a character, press Alt and the X key simultaneously to convert the code into a character, and vice versa. Cardbox Software has created a [http://www.cardbox.com/quick/download.htm Utility] that supposedly enables alt codes across all applications.
