Typing the Following "ALT Codes" (ie. in "Notepad") will make what happen? Choose the TRUE answer. Note: These are decimal numbers from the keypad in NUM lock mode.
- ALT+255 makes the same character as pressing the Spacebar
- ALT+022 Pastes whatever's in the buffer
- ALT+008 creates a horizontal tab
- ALT+013 makes a pagebreak
EXPLANATION
ALT+022 does paste whatever characters you may have previously cut or copied.ALT+255 make a character that "looks" like a space, but is not. For fun, from command prompt, add ALT+255 to a directory name. Then, try to DIR to it using the Spacebar!
ALT+008 Backspaces
ALT+013 is a Carriage Return
Here is a decent list of ASCII characters and their original functions:

The control characters have also been imported to WIndows-1252:

and Unicode:

While some of them may not work, you might be surprised how many do. Especially when someone doesn't include them in a web form's regular expression to block them ;) Have fun experimenting!
