in thread 'use' inside or outside of package declaration?

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? 😲

    So you type in vi and copy the processed results to the input blank? Or do you have further automation to handle that for you?

    It's seems that Gentium is simply not one of them. Neither is the copy of Georgia I have installed.

    A few years ago I started writing a book on electromagnetism for kids and curious nontechnical folks. The early chapter on scientific notation and unit dimensions was driving me nuts, trying to type ×,∙,∕, and thin space all the time. So I got an "Xkeys stick" to put above the function key row. Nice hardware, but the software was utterly useless, and only let me set up macros for keys I could already type just fine! I tried hacking the data tables, and tried using it in plain USB Keyboard mode generating keys that are defined but not present like F20 (and letting a keyboard mapper program take it from there), but nothing worked. So I went to the driver level and made my own trivial program.

    I have a hobby of fixing em-dashes on Wikipedia.
