How to write subscript characters - Xed 3.2.8 #567

Open artofit opened 1 year ago

 * Xed version 3.2.8
 * Distribution - Manjaro XFCE 22.0.0

It's easy to write superscript by prefixing/preceeding the desired character with ^, e.g. T^+ will be displayed as T⁺

However, I haven't found way to subscripting with Xed. e.g. of use electricity: U0 (initial tension) , etc. chemistry: H20(water), C02(Carbon di-oxyde), etc. physics: V1-V0 (difference in velocity) etc. ...

Expected behaviour Accept all common chars as subscript: 0-9 a-Z +- by means of an easy keyboard prefix shortcut, e.g. CRTL + _ aka the equivalent of htlm "sub" tag.

I recommend you install Autokey keyboard macro utility https://github.com/autokey/autokey for easy character entries of your choice. it comes in gtk or qt flavours and v96.0 is the only version recommended.
