ANSI Character table with hex code

Could you extend the ANSI and other character tables that they show also the hexadecimal value? This would be even a help to simple convert decimal byte values into hexadecimal ones.

You can do that yourself - clip libraries are editable.

Either open the whole file (Right-click on the dropdown, Edit book)
or right-click on a single entry and edit the "Name of Clipping" field.

When you have finished, send the completed Clip Library to Textpad, so they can put it to the Add-ons Page.

I have sent it to textpad. I hope they will include it into the next version.

There is no such thing as an ANSI value. If your character codepoint is between 0x00 and 0x7F then it has an ASCII value. Above that, it has a value in the current Windows codepage, and a (possibly different) value in Unicode (aka ISO-IEC 10646).

(I know I'm being overly pedantic, but there's too much confusion flying about about character encoding schemes already. No need to add to this).

Give it the name you like. In Textpad in the standard installation I have listed those characters from 33-255 and they are under the headline 'ANSI Characters'. It does not matter to me, if Textpad wants to rename this in 'ASCII Characters', if it is really the same.
