When I first read this email the email-reader displayed the '{', '}' and 
'>' as flipped. So I would guess it's left. I was going to try it in 
python but I couldn't get it working without removing '<10'. I guess 
this is one of the situations where out-of-string formatting options are 
useful/needed. I'm not sure how to solve this otherwise.

And I see what you mean - navigating using the cursor in Qt Creator and 
VsCode and trying to guess where a character will appear if I press a 
button is quite the challenge.
