how to escape the notepad plus plus character panel?


Josh Kennedy
 

hi,

I sometimes use notepad plus plus to hand edit brl or brf braille files and other text files. I went into the edit menu and I wanted to enter some accented characters into a text file so I brought up the character panel, found the character I wanted and pressing enter puts that character into the file. But now when I run notepad++ the character panel keeps coming up and I can’t find a way to close it. So how do I close the character panel? I’m using the latest NVDA with CodeFactory eloquence and vocalizer addon.

Pressing F8 should take you back to the document. There is a close button in the character panel, but it seems only to be accessible with the mouse; I couldn't find it with NVDA using the navigator.

This is one of the issues I have with Notepad++: while much of it is accessible, many of the keyboard shortcuts are completely non-standard.

Hi,

Have you tried to act on the character panel menu item again?

Not the OP, but I tried this this morning before responding to them, and this does nothing - or didn't for me.

It does nothing for me either. Choosing the character panel again does nothing. Maybe I'll try moving the mouse around and see what I can find.

Hi  Sascha ,

Pressing F8 works to take you back to the main edit screen.  I don't see this indexed anywhere with the help screens, but it is good to know that this keystroke works.

I only found out about it a couple of days ago while editing the keyboard shortcuts. Which is another ordeal of its own!

Hi Dan,

Glad I could help.  As I mentioned in a previous post, sometimes the program will quit working. With the latest version, I think this has something to do with JAVA updates.  I had it happen twice in the past year.  All I do to get it working again is uninstall and reinstall.  With version 3.x, this seems to solve the issues.
