A quick way to insert special symbols like ↑ ↓ ± × ≠ α β γ © ® would be very handy for scientific notetaking. Maybe through the gui for accessibility and also through text macros (e.g. :uarr: for upper arrow) for faster notetaking.
maybe you are looking for actual shortcuts, but since you mentionned uarr
maybe this can work for you: it is already possible to enter some inline latex : \alpha \beta \gamma \delta \approx \ne \uarr \darr \larr \rarr \clubs \spades \diamondsuit \ hearts \star
I know some commands don’t work (like \triangle \sphericalangle…) but combined with the font ligatures, it’s still useful.
You can add custom commands too, for example:
:commands [["alpha" "\alpha"] ["beta" "\beta"]]
.
Now this is just what I wanted, thank you very much.
@tienson Would it be possible to also get autocomplete for the \ commands like the / commands?
It’s definitely possible but I’d like to implement plugins API first so that more people can join us to implement those features
