How to type µtorrent

[schwab]

µµµµµµ alt 230 yay

[silverfire]

As of now, "u_t" (with the _ replaced with a /) will autoreplace to "µTorrent," unless myself or other mods/admins recieve complaints about it interfering with other posts.

EDIT: not anymore T_T

[Ultima]

Testing: u/t

Edit: Doesn't seem to be working O.o

[vurlix]

I disabled word replacements.

µtorrent ftw

D:

[ph0rn]

To the person who asked: It should be pronounced 'micro torrent'.

[Hazar]

as opposed to utorrent (as I was saying it) or mutorrent (what µ actually sounds like) but actually microtorrent (what µ means)

[ph0rn]

If you're referring to a measurement.. do you say "mu meters" or "micro meters"... I rest my case.

µ alt 0181 µ huhuhuh .. it works great, thx

[yeah, i know i'd just had to look it up myself in the unicode table, but lazyness keeps me alive :DD]

gray(right) alt+m do not work on Opera (and non MS software).

alt 230 -> ц on non US regional settings (and international windows).

alt 0181 -> µ should work everywhere.

* gAlt (gray ALT) is implemented on all 101+ keyboards since 15 years ago it is the name of the Right Alt on the keyboard. Gray Ctrl is respectively the right control key. On some keyboards they are really engraved as gAlt/gCtrl or gray Alt/gray Ctrl but often is written just alt/ctrl. In most cases they do the same thing as the left ones, but it is obvious they are different keys!

Just to make it clear if it isn't already by Venimus' post, *all* keyboards have AltGr, including north american/standard ones. It's the rightmost Alt, and most of the times it's simply marked "Alt". But press it in combination with other letters and you'll get graphic stuff like ðáßðßððü€¾½íåßä and such. Ctrl+Left Alt also has the same effect as AltGr most of the times.

It's weird AltGr is not working on Opera, but it works on everything I use in windows, including non-MS software.

230 is its ANSI table (256) code and 0181 is its unicode table (65k) code, that's why the Alt+code thing works.

@µTim: I've extensively tested my Alt buttons, and they still don't work as you say. Right Alt + M does nothing. Pressing Alt automatically sends the keyboard focus to the menu bar, so if you press Alt + ANY_LETTER, it will try to open the menu that has ANY_LETTER underlined. It does the same thing in every one of my applications, from Notepad, to Opera, to Microsoft Word. Ctrl + Alt + ANY_LETTER doesn't work as AltGr either. It's only an extra modifier key that applications have to detect, and isn't a global Windows key combination equivalent to AltGr (at least it does nothing here either).

All of those key combos only apply to those that use -international- IMEs. The standard EN-US IME does not have any of those key combos. For people using EN-US, left and right alt, for all intents and purposes, are exactly the same. So no, US keyboards do not have AltGr. (it's nothing more than an IME setting really)

[Ultima]

Odd, I've tried switching between IME's, and it's still the same.

[Firon]

I switched it to United States-International in the IME and both AltGr + M and Ctrl Alt M work. So I'm pretty confident it's just an IME setting that determines it.

Someone should sticky this thread...just in case the flood of n00bs come in asking the same thing 50x over... :idea:

or just use the search before posting..

That's not µ, that's Russian Tse

[Firon]

gray(right) alt+m do not work on Opera (and non MS software).

It works on Firefox (with the right IME setting).

i use win+y on my mac mini

If you're referring to a measurement.. do you say "mu meters" or "micro meters"... I rest my case.

If "torrent" was a standard unit of measurement then your case would work. "µ" only means "micro" in the context of standard units. "µ" also represents arithmatic mean, or average. It would be equally correct to say it should be pronouced "average torrent". Not exactly a flattering name.

"µ" has a lot of meanings.

In any case, there should be a forum filter to change "utorrent" or "uTorrent" or "µtorrent" to "µTorrent" if they actually want people to see it written this way consistently.

[Ultima]

Idea was already thought of, it's just that vurlix disabled word filtering. About how it's pronounced... it doesn't matter what context it's in. If the dev wants to pronounce it a certain way, then that's how it will/should be pronounced O.o

[eisa01]

On macs it's alt + y

[Firon]

Too many problems with using the forum filter to do it, hence why it was disabled.

[lxwong]

What r u talking about....there is no such thing as Alt Gr key.....izzit the Alt Ch key u r referring to.....

[Firon]

Yes there is, there is an AltGr key. It's just not on American keyboards. Most European and South American keyboards have it, to my knowledge.
