@ucantstop_me Yeah. Supposedly, ALT + 0176 should produce it, but does not.
@MisterE I saw 167, didn't work. Now I'm looking at one that says 248, also doesn't work. Then I tried º and it worked.
@Tail But what was it that produced the degree symbol that worked?
@MisterE Ctrl+C -> Ctrl+V
@Tail OK. Whatever works for you. But, there should be a keyboard shortcut that works besides cut and paste.
@MisterE I swear there is but no idea why none of these aren't working. It might actually be CoSo? Idk
@Tail Differences among hardware in use as well, I think.
@MisterE I was about to say, do you have a ten-keyless keyboard? I don't have a number pad rn and that's what I always used and never had problems.
@Tail There is a pad on my keyboard. I even tried it with NUM LOCK engaged. No go.
@99reasons4truth @MisterE Did you use a keypad or the numbers at the top?
@99reasons4truth @MisterE Pretty sure that's the difference. Try the top row and see if it works.
@99reasons4truth @MisterE Expected as much, pretty sure it's to do with those buttons also being mapped to other alt characters.
I'm using a tenkeyless keyboard so I can't do it. :(
@99reasons4truth NICE! Can I ask which one? I've got as clicky a keyboard as I can. I actually "downgraded" from one of the big brand top of the line keyboards down to a cheap no-name $50 keyboard and it's amazing. Cherry Blue switches ftw
@Tail
It's a Unicomp New Model M
@99reasons4truth ! WITH THE CLICKINESS OF THE OLD IBMS?!
@Tail
Yes!! And you can take the keys off to clean. Which I've done bc I've spilled green tea and water on it lol
I probably need a key cover.
@99reasons4truth omg I didn't even know they make those. I made a wrong choice.
I got a Huo-Ji Z-88, all of the keys are also hot-swappable, same with the switches. Aluminum frame so I could hit someone with it if I needed to. If I can buy just the buckling spring switches I would be so so happy.
@voltronic was talking about them here on CoSo. He suggested it as a good keyboard. So I bought one. I am very happy with it.
Here you go. Same switches (they hold the patent) and same general design as the original. All newer mechanical key switches like Cherry MX feel cheap and vague in comparison, and I will fight anyone who says different. 😉
I will buy one when my actual 1990 Model M dies, but it shows no sign of slowing down.
@voltronic @99reasons4truth Oh heck yeah. I didn't know they were still making the boards or switches and fully rescind my "Cherry Blues ftw". Totally agree about the feel.
I'm looking and I'm guessing I can't buy just the switches and that the keys only work on other Unicomp keyboards. This is a hard call to make because I like my pudding keycaps.
