Can't use alt codes

(1/2) > >>

TuxerTuxar:
Hi! I want to use Code::Blocks to practice writing in the C programming language, but the alt codes (Most notably Alt+123, which gives you {, and Alt+125, which gives you }.) do not work, and since my keyboard doesn't have keys specifically for those, these Alt codes are important and I am pretty much screwed without them.
Could somebody please help me out with this issue? It would be heavily appreciated!   ;D

Miguel Gimenez:
Those codes (and Alt-126) work here. In fact, pressing Alt-123 shows {} because the code completion plugin adds the closing brace.

No, what I'm saying is that pressing Alt+123 doesn't do anything, it doesnt add an opening bracket or a closing bracket, just nothing

Miguel Gimenez:
I understood you correctly, I am saying that my C::B (last nightly on MSW7) shows the codes as expected.

You have not stated your C::B version or OS. Certainly, on Mint18 said codes are not shown, but the same happens with the text editor and the console.
