Thus, « one shifted keystroke (AltGr-[), << is two shifted Rod> keystrokes (Shift-, Shift-,). Ok. A reasonable point that hasn't been made yet in this multi-month discussion. It'll never actually "save" me characters, however; the most I'll achieve is parity. I'll be more likely to remap MyMod-> to the macro '>>' than that similar-looking Unicodey character I don't know (or care) how to make yet. And MyMod-Y to expand to 'zip', not <Unicode Yen>. Presumably, the argument for Unicode operators needs to (and does) go deeper than "saving keystrokes". TIMTOWTDI is the best argument I've seen thus far, with this little keyboard remapping discussion as an excellent example. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "One cannot mark the point without marking the path."
