How do you type special characters in Google Chrome when Alt+# is a shortcut to switch to that tab?
I've been unable to find an answer to this online. I'm aware that in Linux I can use Ctrl+Shift + U and type the Unicode number for special characters, however I already know the alt codes for common characters I use. Such as Alt + 0252
for ü
.
In Chrome, when I type Alt + 0252
it switches to the second tab, fifth tab, and then second tab again. I've tried using either Alt key (switches tabs), Alt+Shift (nothing happens), Alt+Ctrl (OS shortcut), and Alt+⊞ Win (nothing happens). Num Lock is on for all of these, of course.
Alt
+13
andAlt
+14
to display music notes in Facebook posts. Yet as of a few months ago the repsective combinations started changing tabs when usingL. Alt
usingR. Alt
does nothing but let numpad buttons signal the numbers directly. It's anoying enough that I, too, am seeking to fix this. The issue exists in much more than just the Chrome web browser. Any Chrome based app experiences the issue too. Might be a gnome or xinput change too, it's frustrating.
