Hi, Johannes,

...

I like to display a literal '&' in a UI dialog string like: ---------------------------------------------------------------- `InputField( `id(`options), _("Options (option1=value1&option2=value2)"),

Try doubling the & char. The above would then become: "Options (option1=value1&&option2=value2)"

Alas, it works only in Qt :( Gtk shows underscore and ncurses shows both &&'s

Conclusion: we can't do it now (at least not in widgets supporting activation by hotkey). I'm sorry I can't give you more positive answer.

Your answer is perfectly o.k. because a straightforward "impossible" saves a lot of time with useless trial and error attempts. I already had changed my text to avoid the literal '&' but nevertheless I was interested how to do it. For my understanding: Am I right that escaping like '\&' or encoding like '\046' cannot work here because what the hotkey stuff gets is the result of escaping and encoding i.e. the hotkey stuff gets already a literal '&' (a byte with octal value 046) so that this character can no longer be used otherwise?
