Title: WinAGI Character map
Post by: ZvikaZ on February 10, 2021, 02:48:45 PM

Hi.

First, congratulations for the new WinAGI version.

I've found the Character Map tool in the help file (CTRL+INSERT, if anyone wants to use it).
It'd be nice to also have it available in the menus, or toolbar (or both).
Not everyone will think to search for such feature in the help file; and I'm quite convinced that when I will want to use it in a year, I won't remember that keyboard shortcut...

Thanks

Yeah, I kinda broke my own rule about providing multiple input methods - I tried to make sure there were keyboard/toolbar/menu options available for all program functions. But this feature was a late add on, and I didn't include the menu/toolbar options partly because i reasoned it was likely to be very infrequently used (and partly because I was lazy :-[). Sorry about that.

I guess the good news is that the Help file was actually helpful!  :D

If this is a deal-breaker for anyone, I can probably get a revision out that adds both a toolbar button and menu item. Otherwise, hopefully by the time you want to use it a year from now, there may be a C# version out that has all the features you need.

It's not a deal breaker, and really not urgent.
It was just a small feature suggestion...

I'll happily wait for the C# version.
