- macintux 10mo agoOption is used extensively for non-Ascii characters, a comprehensive list would be quite long. A few of the easier to remember: option + 0 for degrees º option + u for to place an umlaut over the next typed character (when it's a valid combination, anyway) ëüä option + c for cedilla ç
- shmerl 10mo agoInteresting. Kind of reinventing Compose key combos. I wonder why they didn't just reuse Compose ones from FreeBSD.
- macintux 10mo agoThis dates back to the beginning of the Mac, so it's almost 10 years older than FreeBSD. (I'm unfamiliar with other UNIX compose key tooling that may have predated it.)
- layer8 10mo agoThere are lots: https://mackeeper.com/blog/special-characters-mac-keyboard/#h2_1 https://mackeeper.com/blog/special-characters-mac-keyboard/#...
- shmerl 10mo agoYeah, looks like they developed separately from Compose combos.
- michael_michael 10mo agoI use µ for microns or micrometers µm. Option + m. Also if you need ad-hoc bullets, just reach for option + 8. • Like this. The difficulty in accessing symbols like these is one of my (I'm sure correctable) hang-ups when using Linux — Arch, btw.
