Wink Typing without using alphabetical keys


I came up with this solution when some of my keyboard's alphabet keys stopped working.
To type, you need to know the ASCII codes of these charachters

Charachter Ascii Code
A-Z 65-90
a-z 97-122
0-9 48-57

There are in all 256 ASCII codes

Now with all his, lets proceed

1)Open any text editor.
2)Turn ON numeric Lock, so that you can enter numbers.
3) Press ALT and while keeping it pressed, enter the ascii code of the charachter you wish to type.
4)Release he ALT key and voila, it is typed.

eg: To type 'A', press ALT + 6 + 5(from numeric keypad only.)

You can use On-screen keyboard.

Why press alt+6+5 when you can simply press A. Nice tut but no use.

parvez: Thanks for this. But what if all keys don't work? Use OnScreen keyboard.

What if your mouse don't work too? Thrash both of them!
