This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!

(Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

I set my caps lock key to the Compose Key (ck), and it changed the game for me:

  • — is ck then "---"
  • é is ck then "e" followed by '
  • ° is ck then double "o"
  • ½ is ck then "1" followed by "2"

I'm sure there's many more combinations, but honestly, I never intentionally used CAPS LOCK for anything.

One of the windows keys is a compose key here. Has been that way for years (trivial to add in kde)

I don’t trust people who don’t have caps lock mapped to escape though, compose key or not.
