Description

Bayes Editor: stranges movements with Alt + numeric keys

Only Windows (?)

There is a old way to insert characters in a editor:
press the Alt key while type the ASCII code of the
character with the most right numeric pad

For example the @ is Alt + 64
the ~ is Alt + 126
the | is Alt + 124

This is a way to work when the key board is strange,
is miss configurated or configurated in other language.

If you try to introduce a @ in the middle of a line
the first 6 move one character to right, the 4 move
on to left and @ appears at correct place but with
stanges movements.

If you try to introduce a | in the middle of a line
the first 1 move the cursor to end of line, the 2 move
the cursor to the next line and the last 4 one character
to the left and the | appears in a diffent place.

The most right numeric pad:

7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3

where usually have associated other keys

1 End
2 PosDown
3 AvPag
4 PosLeft
5 --
6 PosRight
7 Inicio
8 PosUp
9 RePag


The default binding for this other keys is being called in editor when pressing
then.

I have a notebook keyboard, and when I use numeric keys (enabling numeric pad
with Fn+NunLk key) to introduce an Alt+ ASCII code I don't have this movements.

To solve this problem (and other related problems) perhaps we need to disable
all text default bindings and bind only those we need.

This it is the behavior offered by the component.
It was tried to correct in a near future.
