If we have to go to one character, though, I'd rather we use an ASCII punctuation character, for the reasons given (hard to type, slight incompatibility). But you λ fans need to help me here: how does one type λ on a Mac laptop? How about on a standard Windows machine? Pick a Linux and lay the clues on there, too.
you can add a greek keyboard to your input methods, and set up a kb shortcut to switch easily. like, for mac osx: system preferences, international, input menu. enable greek keyboard. enable "show input menu in menu bar". click on "keyboard shortcuts". in "input menu", enable "select the next input source", assign it a shortcut that doesn't conflict with anything you use, like maybe option-space. then, to type lambda, type option-space until you're at the greek flag, then type lowercase-L (on u.s. qwerty), windows is pretty similar to osx, it's in "regional and language options" I think modern linux is also similar, but I'm not near one at the moment. _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
