Add degree, pi, and micro symbol to Quick Accent #23237
Comments
@damienleroy is that within the scope of Quick Accent? |
We have alot of other special characters, so I would say yes. |
Not to forget .. these: Pls. |
That imples there would be no real limits. That means we end up with another version of the emoji/input tool, which already has numerous characters, ordered by several groups... |
Can we also add the division symbol? Not the slash, but the one with two dots and a line between them. |
Some of the ones mentioned are available already: Division is not available |
Yes, please. I personally need to insert degree symbol (and other technical symbols) far more often then emojis. |
What's the problem with pressing |
Remembering anything requires an effort. The same way you could claim Quick Accent is unnecessary, as you could type ALL characters with the Alt code. Possible? Yes Convenient? Not really |
Degree i think is ° |
I'm not even going to dignify "remember an Alt code" with a response. An issue now marked as a duplicate of this one also brought up ellipsis … U+2026 and interrobang ‽ U+203D as conspicuous by their absence; they could be put on the slash key (since it's also the key used to type a question mark). I'd just like to make sure they don't get forgotten in the churn. |
+1 for including ellipsis (…) and also vertical ellipsis (⁝) ‒ perhaps best on the semicolon (;) key? |
quick accents are quick. it's the whole point of the toy to replace the need to remember alt-something or Win+. or Win+; and then move your mouse to select the character tab and scroll to find what you are look for |
I came here for ellipsis ‒ personally I would think they should go on the period (.) key myself but I'm not too fussed either way. |
but the emoji/input tool is nowhere near is easy to navigate from the keyboard |
Here's a list of all the symbols/characters suggested so far. Symbols that are not in QuickAccent Symbols that are in QuickAccent (× and ÷ were added in #25790)
I've added ∫, and originally came here for °. I also noticed that some symbols like ¥ in the "Currency" section are not in "All available" for some reason.
If anyone wants to suggest more, I recommend searching the Languages.cs file first. |
As of 0.74.1: the only thing left to do for this is add the degree symbol to be entered alone without F or C. |
I have an idea that may be a perfect solution for several of the problems mentioned here... or it may be WAY out of scope for PowerToys and completely unrealistic. I honestly can't tell which, so I'll put it briefly and let you all decide. I'm happy to open a new issue to flesh out the idea more if the devs like it. What if the Because PowerToys is an official Microsoft project that is published with an official Microsoft signing cert, I believe it should be able to replace the default OS file at "C:\Windows\SystemApps\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_cw5n1h2txyewy\TextInputHost.exe" with a "modded" PowerToys version and not cause any issues. Of course, PowerToys would have to reinstall it after every OS update, but that's not too hard to detect and run in the background. Thoughts? |
Quick Accent still has no degree symbol? |
@pharan It is not. I welcome a PR (are you up for it?) |
This issue should be closed by the merging of #34384. It adds the degree symbol to 0, among other things. |
@TetraTsunami looks like that pr only touches fractures with numbers. the degree symbol is not a superscript zero. |
Oh no! I'm sorry, in my IDE and the GitHub website I wasn't able to tell the difference. |
