I have magical elves to do all my typing for me. 👳

I have to type in ⅵ or I go crazy. 😭 And sometimes I run 🐪 scripts to fix things. I find having to type in HTML to be prehistoric (StackOverflow’s system is just about infinitely better), so I of course have 🐪 help me: kind of a home‐rolled pod2monk. 😇

The four ‘curly’ “quotes” have easy keyboard shortcuts. I don’t have keyboard shortcuts for the two hyphens (HYPHEN ‹‐› and NON-BREAKING HYPHEN ‹‑›), though, just for the two dashes (EM ‹–› & EN ‹—›). I do use all four pretty selectively, and a proper MINUS ‹−› every now and then. I avoid HYPHEN-MINUS ‹-› and APOSTROPHE ‹'› except in code; the others always look much better. 👀

I should make pod2monk smarter so I wouldn’t have to resort to such complicated 🎹 chords. 😒 Yeah, it slows down the touch‐typing efficiency a bit, but not so much as to make it not worth the bother to have it look good. 💩

I use Opera on a 🍏 or 👿 (but not 🐧), so don’t really know anything about 👽 setups. I’m looking at everything in a nice Georgia font. I can’t imagine using a font without a HYPHEN; it’s a fundmental requirement of typesetting. Are you sure you don’t have one? 😲
