I am dysgraphic and use a keyboard for input as much as possible. I am taking a math class that has a lot of text mixed in with a lot of math symbols. I would love to be able to use my microsoft surface with a keyboard to type out symbols like ∈ and ∀.

I had the idea that I could use a customizable on screen keyboard. Does anyone know of a way to do that?

    Do you know about windows ALT codes?

    You can use them to type non regular symbols without messing with keyboard settings.

      It can be a lot of work to look up the alt code every time. Emdash on Linux is [Alt]+[Shift]+U,2,0,1,4,[Space]. It’s really easy to fat finger. It was really hard to remember. I still have to look up •, °, interrobang (phone keyboard didn’t even have that one), and others.

        It also slows me down a lot to have to tab over and back. I have enough trouble with time as it is.

      That’s what I have been resorting to for my notes but it takes a really long time.
