that may be easier with a compose key
Had to look it up, but that's what I meant. Mac doesn't have a compose key, which is why I used Shift
. But yea, that's what I was thinking of, just didn't know it was called a compose key. Thanks 👍
sure no problem i'm positive you can map the compose key on mac too
Instead of 20 unique characters, you could have only the first 5 numerals, plus 3 combining characters for the "fives", to compose all 20 numerals. 20 for the price of 8 🎉
That means you could have a keyboard with only 5 number keys (0-4) and use a compose key to write all 20 numerals.
For numerals 0-4, just type the number key directly.
For numerals 5-9, press
Compose + 1
, then the number key.For numerals 10-14, press
Compose + 2
, then the number key.For numerals 15-19, press
Compose + 3
, then the number key.(Edited, thanks to Fuseteam)
Or even better, add a key for the 5 numeral that works sort of like a compose key of combining characters. Press it to compose "fives" that take a numeral (0-4) below it. So pressing the 5 key twice, then pressing 4 gives you the numeral for 14.
