How to keyboard imput using ALT+0000

How to generate each character with keyboard. Alt codes work on computers running any of Microsoft’s Windows operating systems.

  1. Find the Alt Code you need from the alt code tables below.
  2. Make sure that “Number Lock” is switched on. There should be a light on your keyboard indicating this. (If not, press the “Number Lock” key at the top left of the numeric keypad.)
  3. Hold down the “Alt” key to the left of the space bar and key the code on the numeric keypad.
  4. Don’t release the “Alt” key until after you’ve typed the alt code. When you release it you should see the special character you include.

Instructions for entering Alt Codes on a lap topEven if you have a laptop or a keyboard with no numeric keypad – you can still use alt codes.

  1. Look for a “function” or “fn” key normally near the bottom left of the keyboard.
  2. Look for a button with “num lock” written in the same colour which is usually near the top right of the keyboard.
  3. While holding “function” press and relase “num lock“.
  4. Enter alt codes using the method above but to enter the actual numeric alt code use the keys with numbers in the same colour as the function (fn) key. Normally “U” has 4 on it for example.
  5. Switch “num lock” off in the same way as you switched it on to continue using your keyboard normally.

Total Commander

Intro

Total Commander is a file manager for Windows, a program like Windows Explorer to copy, move or delete files. However, Total Commander can do much more than Explorer, e.g. pack and unpack files, access ftp servers, compare files by content, etc!
It was known as Windows Commander and in 2002 there was a name change – the new name is “Total Commander”.
