More random font questions: Are the relation operators used in SEwPR available anywhere? i don’t know the vernecular well enough to google for them. edit: looks like most of them are unicode!

@jerryj if you’re in DrRacket there are shortcuts for common unicode symbols that come in handy, FYI (https://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/Keyboard_Shortcuts.html)

@pnwamk oh cool, thanks!! i was copying/pasting them :neutral_face:

As to DrRacket unicode - can someone translate what will this combination be on Windows: C- M- c:x;l ?


githree
2017-2-16 18:36:36

explanation in the docs assumes previous knowledge of how it works - it doesn’t make any sense to me though

Control- Alt- Control-x l

@samth thanks but I feel quite thick right now - can you give an example with any macro used - where does it go?


samth
2017-2-16 18:48:24

what do you mean?


samth
2017-2-16 18:48:40

that’s a notation for keyboard commands


githree
2017-2-16 18:52:32

This is how I understand the command: First Ctrl+ then Alt+ then Ctrl+x then l, then latex macro; eg \neg?


githree
2017-2-16 18:53:03

I don’t understand how these complex bindings work as I’ve never used them


githree
2017-2-16 18:53:29

and the paragraph in the docs make it even harder

In DrRacket, enter the latex stuff first, then invoke the key combination


shu--hung
2017-2-16 19:13:15

enter \neg; when the cursor is right after that g, invoke the key combination. Now it becomes ¬


githree
2017-2-16 19:26:13

@shu—hung thanks for this clarification - I still can’t get it to work though -> Ctrl+ becomes lambda and the whole line is now: \negλl


leafac

For me, λ is the result of ⌘+\, while the effect you want is achieved with ⌃+\. So maybe try ⌘+\? (Or Windows key, or whatever you super key is.)


githree
2017-2-16 19:53:58

thanks @leafac no success yet, I have started to wonder if anyone actually have tried this on Windows before…


githree
2017-2-16 19:54:12

unless I am doing something incredibly stupid


samth
2017-2-16 19:54:26

@githree can you try it with Alt- ?


githree
2017-2-16 19:55:26

yes, that’s it!


githree
2017-2-16 19:55:38

just plain Alt- with nothing else


githree
2017-2-16 19:56:01

I won’t admit how much time I’ve spent on this because it would be too embarassing


githree
2017-2-16 19:56:12

but thank you all who tried to help!


githree
2017-2-16 19:56:38

I think the docs should reflect it though


githree
2017-2-16 19:58:05

I’ll try to test all the keybindings on Windows and see where else are there problems


githree
2017-2-16 19:58:21

then update the docs


samth
2017-2-16 19:58:49

I think it’s just that entry that has something strange in the docs


githree
2017-2-16 19:59:18

nevertheless I’ll test it in some free time
