Only the way described in GNOME Help works for me on Ubuntu, for instance. Actually, that specific docs section was rewritten a few years ago. And I'm guilty of that. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/commit/10201c14 The conclusion from the discussion in the related bug was that it's best to describe the universally working method rather than a method which only works for some users.I see. But what i am suggesting here is another change. In the current version of the documentation, it is not clear where the *ctrl* and *shift* keys should be released. Your change removed this "detail". Now, it is ambiguous. I released them after *typing* (where "*typing*" is to "*press and release*") _all_ the five keys: *u* and the _4 digit hex character code_, in this order. You released them after *typing* the *u* key. If one of these methods do not work, the ambiguity should be removed - right? Mentioning when the *ctrl* and *shift* keys should be released solves it, in my opinion.I see what you mean now. And I also notice that my original suggestion was slightly different: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=362300 Due to a comment from a patch reviewer I modified it to the current wording. But you are right, it is ambiguous. Would you mind submitting a docs issue about it? ;) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-user-docs/-/issues (Otherwise I may give it a new try.) Not at all. I will do it, right now. (:
My environment is Debian with Mate Desktop. It started forking from Gnome 2. This explains why both, where they work, for me: the are software which it does not work at all; for these, i started to use any other open window, which is usually open - and i have the habit of always having the Pluma text editor opened in all my virtual desktops, and it works in it.I see. There are 2 small errors in what i wrote in this paragraph you
commented here. "[...] the are software which [...]" should have
been "[...] there are softwares which [...]". And
my usage of Pluma is to make the Unicode character in it, with the
code point "trick" discussed, cut or copy it, and paste wherever i
need. I guess it was not hard to get my correct ideas here, but... Glad to give a small contribution to an open source project that is considered FOSS. Regards.
