As a European using the extended latin alphabet, setting your keyboard up to easily type é, is easy: use a modifier key. Then, for example, MOD + ' followed by e becomes é. Similarly you can make à, ô, ĩ, œ, ů, and so on. I even believe this is the default setting (as I cannot remember setting it manually).
But I agree that if you don't use these characters, setting it up to type one or two odd characters isn't worth the hassle.
- yareally 14y agoI do something like that. My right alt key set to do alt+e for é or alt+u for ú. Also works nice for doing things like ³ and π with the number 3.
- ht_th 14y agoI use the Windows keys for that as I have no other use for them. Now you've mentioned it, I can make easily a lot of symbols I've never used as well: ₈8⁸ǫẹ. That might come in handy writing formula in plain text.
- yareally 14y agoThat's sort of why I have them as well. I used π or µ as a variable constant before in a script I was writing or use ² and ³ in documentation for something.
