[Nano-devel] representation of high control codes

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hi,

Currently the representation of control codes with their high bit set
(U+0080 to U+009f) is like this:

^À^Á^Â^Ã^Ä^Å^Æ^Ç^È^É^Ê^Ë^Ì^Í^Î^Ï^Ð^Ñ^Ò^Ó^Ô^Õ^Ö^×^Ø^Ù^Ú^Û^Ü^Ý^Þ^ß

I propose to change this to:

^`^a^b^c^d^e^f^g^h^i^j^k^l^m^n^o^p^q^r^s^t^u^v^w^x^y^z^{^|^}^~^=

so that it is easier to match them with the low control codes:

address@hidden

(In the last line ^I and ^J are fakes to get the codes to line up nicely;
on the terminal they are replaced by a tab and a newline.)

Sure, this will hardly ever matter, but... I've been looking at binary
files lately and then seeing things like ^Ò^Ó^Ô doesn't make any sense.
Seeing ^r^s^t, one has at least an idea of what code points they are.

Benno
