Snapphane Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 This is a thing I found out. Any computer (at least one running WinXP) can make the µ very easy Just press AltGr + mHope this is helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 What's AltGr?I personally just copy and paste "µTorrent" from the forum description above =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapphane Posted October 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Look at your keyboard, you have an Alt, a Crtl, and a Alt Gr on it.If you can't find the Alt Gr, Crtl+Alt will work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomZ Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Doesn't work for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I've never seen a keyboard with Alt Gr on it O.oCtrl+Alt+M does different things depending on what application you're using (I'm using Opera, so Ctrl+Alt+M opens up a new email message composition thingy).Alt+0181 works (if you have a numpad).Sidenote: This seems more like a Chat topic than something general about µTorrent itself =T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroc Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well I got WinXP but when I do the Crtl Alt m I get:...........................(tumbleweeds blowing in the wind):cry: But when I do Alt 0181µTADA!!!!!Thanks Ultima, I forgot the thread where I saw how to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hah even faster (by one stroke =P).You can usually find these using Character Map, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 The problem with the 3-digit Alt codes is that they only work on the language setting it came from. if a user on a different language setting for their windows used it, it would not work. the 4-digit codes are universal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Someone should sticky this thread...just in case the flood of n00bs come in asking the same thing 50x over... :idea: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I just wish it'd be possible for 'utorrent' to be automatically replaced by 'µTorrent' on the forums, since it'd be much easier to type. I have a laptop, so I need to do Fn+Scroll Lock to turn on the numpad, and then press Alt+0181 and then Fn+Scroll Lock again to turn it off.

oxymoron Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I've never seen a keyboard with Alt Gr on it O.oYou're joking, are you?Or is this country dependant?The AltGr is the rightmost of the two ALT keys.Ok, so this actually seems to be an European thing:http://www-306.ibm.com/software/globalization/topics/keyboards/physical.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Us people using US keyboards don't have AltGr, we just have two Alt keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Ah... it is some international thing... US keyboards (as Firon said) only have left and right Alt buttons =P@silverfire: I don't know if that'd be good. If someone posted something in a URL or code BBcode, fully intending to write utorrent.com (for example), wouldn't that change mess things up? Aside from that worry, I think that the word censoring facility in phpBB might work in replacing 'utorrent' with 'µTorrent'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keilaron Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 English/US QWERTY keyboards don't have Alt Gr / Alt Chr on them. Many other languages (including FR-CA and FR-FR) do. You don't really need to have one of those keyboards to use the key combo, though, just the key layout / language installed (and selected) Windows. As is the case for me.Sadly, m doesn't seem to work when my MBM hotkey is enabled (Ctrl+Alt+M)... then again, I don't really have a use for µ anyway ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixshot Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I usually just type the 'u' out rather than using the foreign character. Saves me time and the trouble of having to use a proper name for it. But whatever floats yer boat, use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeronantropis Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 well, that's so strange. I have a Belgian Azerty-keyboard, and next to my %-key, i have a µ-key. seems even in azerty keyboards, there's a huge difference ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTorrentUser Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 µTorrent ROX!!!I love that¿ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Maybe we should set a filter that replaces all "u" to "µ" But on the other hand, that would be rather disturbing.Translating utorrent to µTorrent would be rather easy though. Just set some regexp and it would be fixed without having the links to utorrent.com broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon-boy Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 OK, so now that's cleared up, how about how it's pronounced? It could be 'yoo-torrent', 'myoo-torrent' or even microtorrent, seeing as µ can stand for 'micro'. I go for 'myoo' personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keloran Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 ludde already said he calls it microtorrent becasue u-torrent sounds liek a question[EDITED: I did not say this /Ludde] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
