Are you tired of every time web-searching for and copy-pasting special characters that you use over and over in RTT discussions, or would like to use if only it were easy, such as ♯, ♭, ¢, √, °, ₂, ×, ⁻¹, ⟩, ∞, and ϕ? Well, try [http://wincompose.info/ WinCompose]! This tool lets you communicate about these ideas without disrupting your train of thought, by typing these characters with simple and memorable key sequences. These sequences always begin with your chosen Compose-key, which defaults to being your right Alt key. When describing these sequences we represent this key with the symbol ⎄. So for example, you type {{nowrap|♯ as <code>⎄##</code>|♭ as <code>⎄bb</code>|¢ as <code>⎄c/</code>|√ as <code>⎄v/</code>|° as <code>⎄00</code>|₂ as <code>⎄-2</code>|× as <code>⎄xx</code>| | Are you tired of every time web-searching for and copy-pasting special characters that you use over and over in RTT discussions, or would like to use if only it were easy, such as ♯, ♭, ¢, √, °, ₂, ×, ⁻¹, ⟩, ∞, and ϕ?

For Windows users, install WinCompose then copy-paste the contents of this file: https://dkeenan.com/XCompose.txt into your user sequences (Show sequences → User-defined sequences → Edit). Then save and reload. You can always choose to override or add alternatives to our sequences if you find others to be more intuitive. | For Windows users, install WinCompose then copy-paste the contents of this file: https://dkeenan.com/XCompose.txt into your user sequences (Show sequences → User-defined sequences → Edit).
