I’m using the latest nightly build (see version below).
In the past, it was possible to invert a signal using ~, but right now I can’t do that.
Did the inversion symbol change? Used to be ~. Now if I write for instance ~S in a new
symbol, it just writes ~S, not the inverted symbol.
Thanks for the replies. I tried, it works just fine. I also noticed that a problem I was complaining about earlier has also been solved. Now the labels keep their size even when inverted, so that I can quit using the N prefix for all these labels.
So if water comes from a tap, does beer in a pub come from a faucet? In that case, faucet dancing sounds more appropriate. See how contrarian tangential thinking can lead us off the deep end?
I support that flag idea.
Btw, in Austria (German spoken) a faucet/tap is a “Hahn” which literally translates to “rooster”. Makes no sense, not even in German.
Indeed, it draws a pipe. Which is a bit strange since I can also enter | directly from the keyboard, even in a label.
By the way, it works even if there is no closing bracket as long as it’s the last part of the string. I don’t know if it’s intended but just in case, I prefer adding the closing bracket.
A tap is also called a “cock” (as in ‘the stopcock to turn off the mains water’ ) in English - which might be the root of this. Beer comes from a different type of tap - a spigot.
Not at all, completely off-topic. There was a discussion about faucets/taps and user nationality flags some 20 hrs ago which I read this morning and I decided to throw my 2 cents in as well…
The list of strings impacted includes dblquote, quote, lt, gt, backslash, slash, bar, colon, space, dollar, tab, return, brace
It may be better to prefix these special names with a special character, (for example, a character normally not allowed in a signal name).
In the C language style, we could use a leading ‘\’ , a literal ‘\’ being written as ‘\\’:
{dblquote] becomes {\dblquote}.
which would produce, respectively : dblquote and "
Reminds me of LaTex syntax…
Now, all these “special” characters (backslash, dblquote, etc…) being pure ASCII, I can’t see the necessity for this special “{xyz}” syntax.
One exception (IMHO) is the badly named “return”; which probably means “new line”.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I expect all national language keyboards / OS combination, compatible with some form of Unicode, will provide these characters.
