Author Topic: Numpad codes on Windows 10?  (Read 1411 times)

You know those codes that you input by holding alt and typing a code on the numpad, to create a unicode symbol? Well, I can't do that on Windows 10.
Can someone help me out here?
-I put EnableHexNumpad as a string in regedit
-Numpad lock is on
-Have restarted my computer after doing so

-nvm i didnt read whole op-

you couldn't do it in windows 8 either
idk why
just use autohotkey and make a macro for the symbols you need
He's looking for a way to use alt codes, not a list of them.


That doesn't help OP at all.
He wants to know why he can't use them / they're not working.

Or you can enable a Japanese IME and get all the symbols you'd ever want

I can do that with ASCII characters. I never managed to get unicode to work.

did you guys change anything to get them working?
i'm just holding down alt and typing in the codes. is there anything else I need to do?

Sorry, for some reason I forgot I was on Windows 8.1 not 10 lol.

But I know what you mean Setro. Back on Windows 7 I was never able to type in alt codes. It would always do something dumb like refresh the webpage or go back. It might have been a result of the browser I was using or maybe even the old keyboard I had? I don't know for sure.
