∮ ∇⨯MATH ⇐⇒ KEYBOAℝD

Wanna be able to type stuff like ∫∫∇⨯ψ⃗⋅ds anywhere, even without latex ? Just with your "regular" keyoard ?

Well you can ! Because you can type any UTF-8 characters nowadays !

design choice

This is based on both the US-intl-algr keyboard layout and the greek layout.

I tried to add useful symbols in places that made sense to my intuition.

This is the very first iteration of such a keyboard. It will certainly evolve. You can contact me if any suggestions.

how to install ?

requirements : you must be using Xorg (you're on linux, it's likely this is going to work)

step 1 : download this xkb math keyboard layout

step 2 : copy or symlink it to "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/sexykbd"

step 3 : open a terminal and type in "setxkbmap sexykbd"

step 4 : it's done. be happy.

don't like my keyboard layout ?

You can alter it fairly easily by changing the file you downloaded. Each U???? thing (like U1F4A9) represent a unicode character. Replace them with the one you like, and then redo "step 3" to load the new configuration.
