Description Kim Scarborough 2009-09-30 20:51:17 UTC 
Hello,

For interface consistency, it seems that gtk+ apps on Windows should accept the Alt-xxxx input shortcuts for Unicode characters. Right now, I'm in the situation where if I want to enter, say, "½", I type "Alt-0189" in every single app *except* my two GTK+-based apps, where I have to type "Ctrl-Shift-U 00bd".
