Usage of the Heinzelnisse Home Edition
Simple Search
Enter a word into the text field of the interface. After 3 characters,
it will also present you a list of words starting with this characters
you have written so far. To simplify the search, if words beginning
with small characters are entered, also those starting with capitals
will be shown.
Special Characters
Norwegian as well as German has several umlauts which might not be on
every keyboard. It is simplest to enter them using the clipboard
(CTRL-C and CTRL-V on Windows, left mouse and middle mouse on
Unix). In addition, the operation systems have different ways of
providing those characters.
Windows
Special characters can be entered:
To do so, open the document and
position the insertion point where you want the special character to
appear. Then, with NUM LOCK on, hold down the ALT key while using the
number pad keys to type the Unicode character value.
Unix/X-Windows
You should have defined a Compose-character in your X resources. With
this
Compose character followed by a character sequence, you
get the special characters.
MacOs
