by the way, how did you do all those subscript formatting tricks?? It would be great to know how to post more advanced things in the comments here.

- the_third_wave 3y agoI use the compose key (which I mapped to Scroll Lock) for subscript: <compose> + _ + [0-9] For superscript I use a dead key, ^: superscript: ^ + [0-9] O₀ … O₉ O⁰… O⁹

- dspillett 3y agoAssuming you are on desktop/laptop: The long-winded way is to use your OS's character map tool: find the glyph you want there and copy+paste. Under Windows 10+ there is the emoji keyboard (hit [win]+;) which also gives access to much more including super-/sub- script characters, which is a little more convenient than character map. Presumably other OSs have similar available too. Better is to have support for a compose key sequence. Usually build in to Linux & similar, you just might have to find the setting to turn it on and configure what your compose key is. Under Windows I use http://wincompose.info/ http://wincompose.info/ and there are a couple of similar tools out there. In any case it is useful for more than super- and sub-scripts: accented characters & similar (áàäæçffñ), some fractions (¼,½,¾), other symbols (°∞™®↑↓←→‽¡¿⸘♥⋘»‱), and configurable too so you can make what you use most easiest to access (and if you are really sad like me you can do something https://xkcd.com/2583/ https://xkcd.com/2583/ to type hallelujah too!). On mobile devices a fair few “special” characters are usually available (though it depends what keyboard you have installed) via long-press on the right keys of the virtual keyboard.
