Thanks Wim!
I am not using the numeric keyboard for this, but it seems to be related to
the problem:
When I disable Num-Lock, then the special characters are not inserted when
using Alt+Left/Right!
And with enabled Num-Lock, Alt+4 (numblock left) and Alt+6 (numblock right)
also produce the same characters (they do not navigate though).

Reply by wimdelange_062 You are probably using the numeric keyboard which has also cursor keys.
That is the normal behaviour that you get characters, This has nothing to
do, as far as I know, with locales or keyboards. If I type something like
Alt-153 I get the old symbol for Gulden: ƒ.
You want a hard Form Feed (nice if you print this email in certain
environments 
use Alt-12 that insers a Ascii 12 character. ♀ Alt-65
gives an uppercase A. Alt 64 (or Alt- right-left) gives @
It is possible that the Alt-12 is not visible in your emailer.
Groetjes,
Wim

AW: AW: ALT + Left/Right produce special character
Thread created by Peter Lang - There is no Shortcut beginning with Alt
Is this what you mean by auto replace settings (previous mail)?
- There is also no Editor > Behavior > Key Mapping beginning with
Alt
Shouldn’t Alt-Left/Right be defined as Shortcut or Key Mapping? - My Editor font is Courier New, but changing it to Arial does not
help with the problem
It does not happen when I open a new instance of TOAD and use
Alt+Left/Right in the empty Editor window (since there is no navigation
possible).
I could also not reproduce the behavior in any other application.
When using my example below, I cannot produce the special character twice
by pressing Alt+Left twice (since only one navigation is possible).

RE: AW: ALT + Left/Right produce special

Do you see anything beginning with “Alt” in there?
What is your Editor font? (Options > Editor > Display > Fonts)

AW: ALT + Left/Right produce special character Thread created by Peter Lang Hi Brad,
Locale German (Germany), Keyboard German
I also tried to switch to “English (USA), Keyboard US”, same behavior.
Also does not make a difference if I use my Laptop-Keyboard or the
USB-Keyboard.
And this also happened with my previous workstation
Anything else I can provide?
Best regards, Peter

What is your locale set to? What about your keyboard?

ALT + Left/Right produce special character Thread created by Peter Lang When using ALT + Left/Right to navigate after jumping with CTRL+Click, a
special character is inserted after releasing ALT-Button.
Steps to reproduce:
- Post the following code (no need to compile)
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY test_package AS
PROCEDURE test_procedure AS BEGIN NULL; END test_procedure;
BEGIN
test_procedure();
END; - Ctrl+Click the call of test_procedure (jumps to declaration).
- Use ALT+Left to navigate back
When releasing the ALT-Key, the following character is inserted:
Using ALT+Right afterwards adds this one:
That’s what the code looks like afterwards:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY test_package AS
PROCEDURE test_procedure AS BEGIN NULL; END test_procedure;
BEGIN
test_proc♦edure();
END;
