I just started using the MessagEase keyboard on Android. It has a nice feature whereby pressing
alⓒgives you α andbeⓒgives you β.On the other hand I have to press
Alt +3B1orAlt 224to get α in windows and that's extremly difficult to remember. I think it would be great if somebody would write a program that also allows me easy access to such unicode characters on windows.I use Autohotkey on Windows for that purpose.
Do you have the script that you use on your Github?
No; my script only contains the handful of unicode characters I commonly use, and is so idiosyncratic to me that it wouldn't be of much use to anyone else (mine includes autoreplacements for directories, email addresses I commonly type, etc.). But it's easy enough to make your own with whatever characters you use -- the syntax is simply
::text-to-replace::desired-replacement
::alpha::α
::em::—
etc.
