At the moment I'm testing results of computations that should result in +/- infinity and as plan9 is built with Unicode in mind figured I should attempt to use the actual =C2=B1 0x00= B1 symbol. I'm aware there are shortcuts for some of these (including =C2=B1) in "lib/keyboard" but I could not get the +- shortcut to work. I discovered it's because I wasn't using numpad keys (I'm on a laptop), when I do it works as expected. I'm assuming it's because of the 'shift' key in between to get the + and - symbols and I'm wondering if it is meant to work with shift or does it intentionally only work with the numpad?

Hello guys,

I'm = toying with floating point and the possibility of making some regression te= sts for Plan 9's FP support. At the moment I'm testing results of c= omputations that should result in +/- infinity and as plan9 is built with U= nicode in mind figured I should attempt to use the actual =C2=B1 0x00B1 sym= bol.

I'm aware there are shortcuts for some of these (including = =C2=B1) in "lib/keyboard" but I could not get the +- shortcut to = work. I discovered it's because I wasn't using numpad keys (I'm= on a laptop), when I do it works as expected.

I'm assuming it's because of the 'shift' key in b= etween to get the + and - symbols and I'm wondering if it is meant to w= ork with shift or does it intentionally only work with the numpad?

Rid.
