Control characters: ESC & ^char

Ken Yiu

I want to be able insert ^char (control characters) in my batch file (including ESC)bolded text. How do I do that with Notepad++?

Hi,
using menu EDIT->CHARACTER PANEL opens the asccii window which
shows you the available chars and its values. By pressing left ALT key
and the needed number (from the number key pad) you will insert it.

E.g ESC = ALT+27 and ^ = ALT+94

Cheers
Claudia

Correction: ESC = ALT+027 and ^ = ALT+094
