write "#" in LV7.1

[didierj]

I must have overseen some setting :headbang:

Since LV 7.1 when I want to write "#" character, in the block diagram LV asks me if I want to show the grid and on the front panel nothing happens.

How do I switch this new shortcut off to use "#" as character?

Didier,

Are you sure you're not leaning on the <ctrl> key at the same time? If I hold down shift and type a '#', I get a '#' character (if typing in a free-text box on the BD). The shortcut <ctrl><shift># generates the prompt you're seeing.

Is your <ctrl> key physically or logically stuck?

Yes I am sure it's not pressed nor stuck (<ctrl>+<e> works like it should).

If I hold down shift and type a '#'

On my keyboard (swiss german layout) The '#' is written by pressing <AltGr>+<3>. I don't know if this makes the difference??

But, You're right... if I switch to standard-layout (english), then it works. Maybe I should report it as a bug!
