Where on the keyboard can I find ' and " ?

Marben

Hi All,

Where on the keyboard can I find ' and " ?

Because I have the code below, I want to make a pop up menu.

Item_Handle1 = hiCreateMenuItem(

?name      'menu_item_name

?itemText  "Any text you want "

?callback  "procedure_name()"

)

Please help.

Best regards,

Marben

  • How did you type the code then? This seems a very odd question - and will depend heavily on what keyboard you have and if it’s set up properly on your computer and in Linux (it’s not really anything to do with Virtuoso).

    Hi Andrew,

    I copied and paste it,

    I can not find in keyboard the ' and " , if I want to type

    it manually.

    Does the character ' and " , exist in keyboard?

    This is a SKILL code to make a pop up menu in layout.

    Item_Handle1 = hiCreateMenuItem(
    ?name          'menu_item_name
    ?itemText      "Any text you want "
    ?callback      "procedure_name()"
    )

    Item_Handle2 = hiCreateMenuItem(
    ?name          'menu_item_name2
    ?itemText      "Any text you want2 "
    ?callback      "procedure_name2"
    )
        
    ; Add Items Handle below to be displayed in menu

    hiCreateMenu(
             'Menu_Name
                    "Menu Header"
             list(     
                                  Item_Handle1
                                  Item_Handle2          
                                )
                          )    

    ;Specify bindkey
    hiSetBindKey("Layout"    "<Key>1"    "hiDisplayMenu(Menu_Name)" )

    Best regards,

    I suggest you speak to somebody in your IT team. A keyboard without quotation marks sounds pretty strange to me. As I said, precisely where the quotation marks are located will depend on the country/keyboard but it’s normally pretty obvious in my experience. How you do anything without quotation marks beats me!
