Hello everybody.
Really beginner's question: how can I make a tilde object if I can't type a tilde? I usually type alt+0126 (here it is:~) but in pd it doesn't work. Is that because of my italian keyboard?
Please help me to play my own bloody sine wave!
Thanks.

Hi
I work with a belgian keyboard layout, and the tilde is obtained with 'alt-gr', but is also a 'dead key'. It only shows up after I press 'space'.
Alt+nnn combinations do not seem to behave in PD as 'usual' (who's still using it?) in dos/windows. I can't get a clue what magic this does in PD, but I guess it's more related to TK than PD. Anyone?

I think Pd has been grabbing Alt-key events since I incorporated Guenter's GUI objects, maybe ten versions ago (alt-b creates a "bang" button and so on.) I'm not sure this is really a good idea, but there it is for now.

dario,
for common objects, use this object menu.

you can always rename your ~ objects once you have them on the canvas when you need an external that is not listed.

hello Dario
my students discovered some weeks ago that in their windows 2000 and xp computers they needed type alt+456 to display a tilde when running pd!
in my windows 98 and Me, when running pd, I type alt+126. tilde appears kindly
but in computers running windows 2000 where i teach it was impossible to include a tilde in an object... I felt myself really stupid trying without any success to type a simple tilde in the middle of an explanation :))) copy & paste was the solution...
hope this helps
