What unicode characters are used in the default kali gedit replacements for ->. The gedit arrow seems to be used comprised of two characters. One arrow head and an extending long middle hyphen.
Gedit arrow:
PS: I want to use this specific arrow in my vscode setup. I find the other unicode arrows too small, therefore I need to use a 'compound character' (not sure if it's the correct term).
Nevermind, I'll just use the fira code font which already does this.

Using neovim version v0.8.2 when pasting multi-line text from the system clipboard (not an internal register), the newline characters get stripped away, undesirably resulting in a single line.
Querying the termpastefilter, the value is on the defaults - "BS,HT,ESC,DEL".
When pasting, neovim asks for a confirmation before pasting due to the fact there are control characters in the pasted string and in the confirmation message, part of the text is revealed with the control characters escaped, where one can clearly see the \n characters, however after pasting the string they get stripped.
The terminal emulator is urxvt version v9.31.
How can one undo this behavior?
I've the same "problem" but sad news:
More information would be needed - what are "incorrect line endings" and have
you disabled the confirm-paste plugin? If not, which option did you chose?
Also for some reason when i open the terminal, half the screen is
flushed. This seems to have been reported here already:
Yes, that is a race condition between your wm and urxvt. It can happen
with all terminals and also older versions of urxvt, but happens much
more commonly in the current version. We have plans to address this,
but are not sure what the right course is, yet, as it is not a bug.
A workaround of sorts is to output some newliens so the prompt is at
the bottom (which is where it will end up anyway, under normal use),
or specify a geometry larger than the screen and let your wm shrink
it, which has pretty much the same effect.

As a workaround I will temporary transfer terminator.
Using IntelliJ, if you type or copy code and the indentation or formatting is not correct, you can easily press Shift Command L and it fixes indentation and formatting. This works on all languages I've tried (python, javascript, html/css, etc)
Is there a way to do the same using VSCode but can't find any way to do it.
IntelliJ Before
Improper space on parenthesis, unnecessary space between colon and parenthesis, too little space between lines, and incorrect indentation on the if True line.
IntelliJ After
It used PEP8 code standards and fixed all the issues mentioned.
Is there a way to do this on VSCode?
When I use Python or any language in that indentation matters I hit enter after the : then it put the cursor in the right place.
What is the actual encoding used in Access' VBA editor? I have been searching for a concrete answer for quite a while but with no luck.
I thought it was UTF-8 but I'm not very certain.
My main issue is that when writing a query in VBA I sometimes need to test it in Access' query editor. When copy-pasting however, I lose my native characters (greek in my case) as they turn to gibberish.
I have tried pasting in a text editor and saving it as different encodings but I can never recover the original characters.
Thanks in advance.
Edit
Let me explain this a bit further:
As you can see I can write my greek characters in the VBA editor normally:
However, copying the first line in Access' query editor, I get the following:
Same goes for a simple text editor:
So I am inclined to think that the problem lies inside the clipboard, due to the encoding used for the greek characters. I guess they are not Unicode, as I indeed have to make the change in the System Locale for non-unicode characters. So how are these characters saved/copied? In what encoding?
Answer
Actually this problem was solved by switching the keyboard input language to greek (EL), when copying the actual test string.
I am still not sure however, as to why that happens. If anyone can provide some insight into this, I would love to hear it.
Thanks again
The VBA editor does not support Unicode characters, either for input or display. Instead, it uses the older Windows technology called "code pages" to provide support for non-ASCII characters.
So, the character encoding in the VBA editor corresponds to the code page that is used by the Windows system locale as specified in the "Regional and Language Options" control panel. For example, with my system locale set to "Greek (Greece)"
I can enter Greek characters into my VBA code
However, if I switch my Windows system locale back to "English (United States)"
and re-open my VBA project, the Greek characters have changed to the corresponding characters in the new code page
If "Control Panel" -> "Regional and Language Options" -> "System Locale" is set correctly but you still suffer from this problem some times then note that while you're copying your keyboard layout must be switched to the non-English language.
This is applicable to all non-unicode-aware applications not only VBA.

Looks like making sure your OS is set properly, and font choice inside the VBA editor.
I had a similar problem with Cyrillic characters. Part of the problem is solved when set the System locale correctly.
However, The VBA editor still does not recognize cyrillic characters when it has to interpret them from inside itself.
For example it can not display characters from the command:
Msgbox "Здравей"
but if the sheet name is in cyrillic characters it does it well:
Msgbox Activesheet.Name
Finally, it turned out that these kind of problems were solved when I changed to 32 bits version of MS Office.
I am trying to use sqlite3.exe on a computer that has the Korean version of Windows XP. This version of Windows uses the won character (₩) in place of the backslash character in paths (For example, instead of c:\ it's c:₩ ). It seems possible to enter a backslash in text editors like Word, but not in the command line. In fact, even if I copy a backslash character, it is converted to the won character when I paste it in.
Since SQL uses the backslash to designate quotes, I am unable to enter them. Instead of '\"' I end up typing '₩"' which generates an error.
Does anyone know how to force a real backslash to be entered into the command line on this version of Windows?
There is plenty of software written in Korea, so hopefully someone else has had this problem.
Open properties of console window and choose TrueType font in 'Fonts' tab (not sure for Korean, but they commonly are marked with "TT" icon).
StackOverflow's WYSIWYG has the ability to quickly surround highlighted text through keyboard shortcuts.
For example, when I push Ctrl+B on some highlighted text, it would bold the text or surround it with two stars.
I am looking for a tool that will give me this function but with "custom-input". That is... instead of bolding the word, I could surround it with a <div> tag or... in my case, I need to localize my Wordpress Plug-in, thus __("Surrounded Text").
I am currently using Notepad++ but I can't find any way to create this function.
Can this be done in Notepad++?
If it can not, I would like some suggestion for a IDE that can.
Thank you.
If you've never used an "optimized" text editor, Vim would be a sea change, but it does have a great surround.vim plugin.
Emphasize hello: ysiw<em>
<em>Hello</em> world!
Finally, let's try out visual mode.
Press a capital V (for linewise visual
mode) followed by S<p
class="important">.
<p class="important">
<em>Hello</em>> world!
</p>
Alternatively, you could probably get a fair bit of the functionality for which you are looking with an AutoHotkey script, but at best I think you'd have to do the highlight-first thing like the StackOverflow WYSIWYG editor.
Still, this would probably allow you to keep using Notepad++.
You can do this in VIM using the surround plugin
