You are SERIOUSLY suggesting that typing 'Ctrl-Shift-U 2 1 9 2 <enter>' is easier for me than typing '->' as I do now!?
that’s not how I’d do it; and I dont think I said or suggested anything to that effect
this thread seems to be obsessing on entering with the keyboard; that is not my point at all
I don't know how'd you'd do it on you particular OS, certain, operating system, editor, etc. But I very much doubt that's a key on your keyboard, so you'd have to do something akin to this. Maybe you have an old APL keyboard, but most people don't.
The reason everyone is "obsessing" about how someone would actually make your symbol appear is that it won't happen magically by thinking it. So you are proposing and huge hit to ergonomics for everyone for no discernable benefit.
that’s nice ! it’s a real shame though, and a bit of a waste honestly, that everybody needs to cook their own brew of an editor to get there
I'm more than happy to share my vim conceal config. There plugin comes with something similar, but I've customized it to my liking. But other people would probably prefer something different... Which they can have.
and primarily all I’m trying to say is that, one day, this will be a legal piece of code,
I very much hope that will never happen. I'm 99% sure my hope will be realized. I will never be able to use a keyboard with 100k keys on it... Admittedly, I don't really understand Chinese character entry methods.
