<div class="markdown_content"><p>The Linux version has the same problems as the MacOS X one: no <br /> possibility to enter braces, brackets, backslash, hash, hat, <br /> ampersand, grave accent, tilde. All these characters are obtained on <br /> the French keyboard by a alt-gr+ket combination. The only solution <br /> I found to circumvent this problem is to store the missing characters <br /> in a text file, to open this file in ideps and to introduce them in the <br /> PS code by copy&amp;amp;paste...</p> <p>Everythings works fine under (French) Windows XP... This problem <br /> concerns only MacOS X and Linux (I have tested only Red Hat 8).</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>When using the text editor under French MacOS X 10.2.6, some <br /> characters cannot be typed directly: braces, brackets, backslash, <br /> vertical bar, etc.<br /> The reason is that these characters need a combination of alt <br /> key, or alt+shift key plus some regular key, and apparently alt <br /> and alt+shift keys are not recognized.<br /> This is a strong handicap: one cannot type in PostScript tables <br /> and procedures!<br /> I found a temporary solution: to use the character palette to <br /> insert these characters. Once they are inserted one can copy and <br /> paste them.</p> <p>Other similar shortcoming: when copying text into the clipboard <br /> in some other application, the clipboard is not recognized by <br /> ideps's editor. It works the other way around: the clipboard <br /> copied in ideps's can be exported. The solution I found to copy <br /> text from other applications is to drag it from one window to the <br /> other. It is amazing that dragging works and not copy&amp;amp;paste...</p> <p>Finally, not a bug, but a rather not pleasant feature: one cannot <br /> write into a file when gs is still running, even when one has <br /> arrived at the end of the file. It would be better if one could <br /> write into the file at all times. </p></div>
