@Roelant Heya, on my Linux machine I use the Compose Key (which I have mapped to Caps Lock).

So ¹ is Caps Lock + ^ + 1, ² is Caps Lock + ^ + 2, etc.

There’s so much more you can do with the Compose Key. I wrote a bit about it a few years ago at https://ar.al/2018/07/18/typographical-typing-habits-for-linux/

#linux #typography #composeKey

@stevensrmiller @developit On Linux, you have something called the compose key that I have mapped to my Caps Lock (CL).

So if I want to do a superscript, I press CL + ^ + 1 (or 2, 3, etc.) and get ¹ ² ³…

Similarly, I can type CL + - + - + . to get an en dash (–), CL + - + - + - to get an em dash (—), or CL + t + m to get ™, etc.

#linux #composeKey #compose #characterEntry #keyboard #specialCharacters #unicode #authoring

@tebicat And at least in #linux you can have both anyway. I have mine set up so I have my #ComposeKey on capslock and pressing both shift keys together is the new capslock which is then toggled off again by pressing only one of the shift keys.

The following command achieves this (IIRC you need to at least log out and back in for it to take effect or you might need to reboot, can\t remember which):

localectl set-x11-keymap us "" "" "compose:caps,grp:ctrls_toggle,shift:both_capslock_cancel"

The fact that the #ComposeKey combination for the dot-less-i (ı) is Compose . i … sure is… a form of humour…
