Does MainType version 10 support this feature request?

MT 9 is out and the feature from MT 2.1 I've been requesting for over three years for you to put back in is still missing. OK, I can take a hint and will look for it in a different product. Bye.

Has this item bubbled up on your ToDo list? I really miss it.

Excellent! Many thanks.

First of all, great product. When displaying the character code point in the grid in hex (e.g. 0x2336), the last digit is truncated. I have already turned off display of the ASCII character (Show ASCII character). My display is 1680x1050 with the DPI setting at 125% normal (Large size 120 DPI). Coul...
