I’ve got two questions that are (admittely) well-beyond my current learning level ,but hey that’s how I roll.
Q1: I use VSCode and when I run my code it just scrolls off the top of the output widow. In addition to being nerdy, I tend a little toward CDO (OCD in the correct letter order) and want my screen clear; so, I’m force to click the ‘clear output’. I know a trick that works in the cmd terminal, but would like to have a code snippet I could plop in and do it programatically as I go through the courses. (Something like the builtin editor does when we ‘save’.)
Q2: Every so often we well get characters in the projects that are not ASCII format that include the umlauts, accents, tilde and such (UTF-8 I believe). How do I force display in the output of these various diacritics?
TIA for indulging my eccentricities so early in my learning.
TBH, your eccentricities are of no concern to us. In fact none of what you go through from day to day matters a tinkers nail. We deal with code and learning code. Don’t make this about you.
I appreciate that, but I’m not looking to convert a file. I’m looking to have VSCode properly render beyond 128th character.
By example, this lesson has a small letter e with acute (é) in the painting named Vétheuil in the Fog.
I had done some searching and thought I found a solution by including # coding=UTF-8 at the beginning of the python code. Alas, that didn’t work and the character is still misrepresented with a placeholder (�).
