Folks,
I have discovered that the Unicode standard has additional alphanumeric
characters here https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf
The are commonly used to represent variable and other mathematical or
algebraic symbols. More often than not these will be used within a formula.
Some of out tiddlywiki users are mathematicians and will be familiar with
this.
If however you are not a mathematician they remain available to be used in
a novel way. For example a tiddler named ｌｉｓｔ uses a different full width
character set and their are at least 6 other full alpha numeric sets.
In tiddlywiki it actually supports these character sets as tiddler titles
and the search will not find them unless you are searching using characters
from the alternate set. These characters display differently like ｌｉｓｔ
or 𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓽 or 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭.
Now I see quite a lot of uses for this but there is one thing I can't find,
I want to quickly remap my keyboard to use one of the alternate sets only
for alphanumeric keys, upper and lower case, and switch back with ease, All
my searches point to changing languages, or entering Unicode from a
multi-key strokes and not what I need.
Any ideas or pointers would be great.
- I am using windows 10
- There must be software already for this is my guess
- It would be ideal if a onscreen keyboard is needed, that while open
you can use the matching key to type text off the physical keyboard.
Why?
- This effectively creates an additional namespace for each
character set, remember these look like different fonts but they are also
different characters.
- An example may be for different tiddlers named list, ｌｉｓｔ, 𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓽 or
𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭.
- One could be a standard tiddler "list", a tiddler to transclude for
ｌｉｓｔs, a tiddler defining a variable called 𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓽 etc...
- I have tested tiddler titles and macro definitions and they work and
are different from those with the standard character set.
- There are other opportunities exposed by this if I can find an easy
way to use them, this post would be too long winded I tried to share these
now.
Thanks in advance if you have any experience with this and can share.
