Doesn't offer subscript/superscript of digits and latin letters #28
Comments
I'm not convinced this is a welcome feature, as this project is trying to focus on emoji and specific symbols. Adding whole alphabets (in this case, there are superscript latin letters + digits + other symbols) seems messy, as the current ibus input method isn't really comfortable for writing text, but instead for inputting one character at a time. What's your use-case? |
My use case: I tried to type in a chemical formula, and had to search the internet for "subscript 2" to enter carbon dioxide. It is just one character at a time for chemical formulas. They aren't used as an alphabet. They are normally used rarely, as part of some math or chemical formulas, or to enter some crafted strings. |
Both Gnome and KDE ship with a character map. |
I don't use Gnome and KDE. There should be a simple low-level way to enter characters by name, and ibus-uniemoji seems to be the way. |
This requires some code changes, and involves specifying all characters manually. Still not convinced this is useful for the majority of users, but I'll think about it. In the meantime, you're welcome to add any characters you wish to the custom settings file. (See the README for instructions) |
i wonder if this could be implemented using (custom) compose key sequences [cks] |
