| 07:23:26 | <jeanbtrd> | Solid: I don't exactly remember what I asked you (first times using irc with a bouncer, need to get used to it) but I think it was about having to create a new .kbd file and systemd service for each new keyboard. That's how I'm doing it right now, it's fine. Thank you! |

| 07:26:48 | <jeanbtrd> | I'm having some problems typing $ all the time for latex, because of the sft key. Things like $x$ are a torture for my pinky. In general, I'd like to reposition sft somewhere else, have you guys got any suggestion? Caps is already mapped to (tap-hold 140 esc lctl). |
| 07:29:02 | <jeanbtrd> | I've tried tab as (tap-hold 140 tab sft), but I couldn't use it. Also it made alt-tab, which I use all the time, behave weirdly. I was thinking about doing space as (tap-hold 140 spc sft) but I can't have the space key have any sort of delay or weird behaviour (apart from actual space, I use it all the time in doom emacs). |
| 10:36:37 | <Solid> | jeanbtrd: I could instead recommend directly putting $ it on a layer |
| 10:37:26 | <Solid> | and then finding a convenient key for that layer (for example, I use the right Alt key as a kind of special symbol layer, and have $ on the QWERTY w key) |
| 10:38:41 | <Solid> | alternatively, needlessly optimise your setup so that simply pressing x<space> in a LaTeX document will generate $x$ instead :> ( https://tony-zorman.com/posts/emacs-potpourri.html#latex-for-the-lazy-mathematician ) |
| 11:12:40 | <jeanbtrd> | Solid: I don't understand, how does that guy write actual space? |
| 11:14:16 | <jeanbtrd> | I'll probably try making a second layer for this stuff. Do you toggle it with right Alt or do you use it as a modifier? In any case, you still have it working as a modifiers for things like [] and {}, right? |
| 11:16:28 | <jeanbtrd> | Thank you btw |
| 12:00:31 | <Solid> | jeanbtrd: the insertion function checks whether the previous word matches some criteria and, if yes, wraps it in dollar symbols, so pressing space in any other context still inserts a space |
| 12:01:17 | <Solid> | and I use Ralt as a modifier, personally, since it seems easy enough to hold down whenever I need to type several symbols in a row (plus, this seldomly happens) |
| 12:02:47 | <Solid> | "you still have it working as a modifiers for things like [] and {}, right?" << I'm not sure what you mean by this; I use a US layout, so inserting [] and {} is done by either the dedicated key, or a shifted version thereof. I only insert () via the Ralt modifier |
| 13:01:15 | <jeanbtrd> | Solid: Sorry, I'm on an italian keyboard so Ralt (here called Alt Gr, don't know about US keyboards) is needed for square and curly brackets (and other stuff on the right side near return). |
| 13:07:21 | <jeanbtrd> | I closed by mistake so if you wrote something I've missed it. So that slot/LaTeX-self-insert function is only for single char things like $x$? |
| 13:13:26 | <Solid> | jeanbtrd: yes, it's mostly so that single character insertions aren't so unergonomic anymore |
| 13:24:43 | <jeanbtrd> | Ok thank you. |
